     Are you saying that if the correct spelling is in
the supplemental dictionary, that correct spelling will
be presented to you if you spell it wrong?  That's not
my experience  For example, I have "Alzheimers" in my
supp., but if I spell it "Alzhemers",  no correct
spelling is offered.  My understanding is that that's
what he wants.
