[Aspell-user] Imaginary aspell.conf?

[A.Christmas]

Aspell seems to be using an imaginary aspell.conf. I've edited, deleted, and 
created aspell.conf files everywhere they're supposed to be, I've used find in 
a terminal to make sure there aren't any hidden ones, and aspell dump config 
still seems to be using a conf file that's not any of them. Even when I've 
deleted all the conf files I can find, it reports the default conf when I use 
dump. Is there any way of finding what file it's actually using? 

This came about because I wanted to change the default language to British 
English, I use it with Lyx on a Mac. Whatever changes I made, didn't show up, 
and so I started looking for the files, installing and uninstalling, etc. I've 
done it manually, I've done it through MacPorts. Always the same config 
whatever I change or delete. The only conf file now should be one I created 
manually using pico at /usr/local/etc/aspell.conf, it contains precisely two 
lines about the default dictionary to use. But like I said, when I dump the 
config, it's the default pages of comments and examples. I've spent a good two 
days on it now! I've obviously done something weird. Or stupid. 

Adam.
