>Bev -- how would those characters get there in the first place?

Um, by using Bev's Free Patcher for AppleWorks(R) 5.1, of course. (Patches
available for earlier versions of AppleWorks upon request). 

The chart at http://members.aol.com/A2MG - then select "Bev's Free Patcher" -  

- lists several patches pertaining to the spelling checker, inclucing allowing
words containing characters @[\]^_{|} and ~ (used by foreign keyboards),
omitting words containing numbers, omitting words beginning with the number 5,
skipping the Main dictionary, changing the order of spelling menus (for
example, put "Get Suggestions" first), and of course, fixing the "duplicate
words in the custom dictionary" bug, for which I found the cause and then
fixed. The fact that this bug was found was widely reported in the press. The
fact that it was fixed was never reported.
