The link does exist in /usr/lib/seamonkey/dictionaries
but it appears that the /myspell/dicts subfolders do not even exist under
/usr/share

The output you show in your above post appear to have version numbers of 2.4.0 which
tells me that you might have OpenOffice 2.4.0 installed on that machine and that is
where those dictionaries come from. OpenOffice was never installed at all on this pc
(as it is an old Pentium II-333.) In fact the ubuntu-desktop / gnome packages were
never even installed. Abiword was installed and works fine. I would prefer not to
install OpenOffice as a workaround (limited hard drive space remaining.)

Thanks for your help and assistance on this. Puppy uses seamonkey -- I wonder
if this bug could be duplicated on puppy (without OpenOffice.)

Best Regards.
