 7 wordpro dictionary.

10 Arguments:
11 path
12    is the pathname of the dictionary to be listed.  If path does not
13    have the suffix dict, one is assumed; however, dict must be the last
14    component of the dictionary segment name.
15 words
16    are words to be listed.  If no words are specified, and if the
17    -input_file control argument is not specified, all words in the
18    dictionary are listed.
19 
20 
21 Control arguments:
22 -brief, -bf
23    suppresses the warning message usually given when a word is not
24    found in the dictionary.
25 -input_file path, -if path
26    lists the words contained in the segment specified by path.  Words
27    in this segment should be separated by newlines.  This control
28    argument may be specified more than once.
29 -output_file path, -of path
30    writes words to be listed into the segment specified by path instead
31    of printing words on the user's terminal.  The words are separated
32    by newlines in the output segment.
33 
34 
35 -raw
36    displays the words without indicating the no-trim attribute or
37    hyphenation points.  Otherwise, words are listed in the format
38    accepted by the add_dict_words command above.
39 -word string
40    lists the word string even though string may look like a control
41    argument.

44 Notes:  When listing an entire dictionary, or any large number of
45 dictionary words, it may be convenient to use the list_dict_words
46 command together with the print_wordlist command to obtain multiple
47 column output.  This is accomplished by using the -output_file control
48 argument to create a wordlist (i.e., a segment whose entryname has the
49 suffix wl).  The resulting wordlist can then be printed by the
50 print_wordlist command.
