I used the font "CG-Times" (my LaserJet 4L had no font 'Times Roman').

Hmmm, it really often happens, that you can't find the word, you are  
looking for...   :-((
MM> How does one go about adding words to the thesaurus?
I fear, there is no possibility to add anything!    :-(
You only can add words to the dictionary- and to the hyphenation-files!

All versions of WP 5.1 (both, the US-release and the german release as  
well as every other countries release) can be used with a lot of  
languages; the only things you need, are the files for the respective  
countries (and of course, you have to set the language-shortcuts)!
For example:
WP{WP}US.THS (english thesaurus) or WP{WP}DE.THS (german thesaurus)
WP{WP}US.LEX (english dictionary) or WP{WP}DE.LEX (german dictionary)
WP{WP}US.HYC (english hyphenation) or WP{WP}DE.HYC (german hyphenation)
and so on...
(Or did I misunderstand your question? English is not my native  
language...)
Ciao,
Wolfgang
