Suggested ispell strings look excellent to me, thanks. 

I am still thinking about wordlists strings. Since wordlists can also be 
used for things different from spell-checking, like password strength 
estimation, and there are more suitable tools for spell-checking, I would not
put all strength in spell-checking. 

I am thinking about 

_Description: System default wordlist:
 Please indicate which list of dictionary words the
 "/usr/share/dict/words" symlink should point to.
 Use "Manual symlink setting" if you want to handle that symlink
 yourself.
 .
 The default wordlist can be changed at any time by running
 "select-default-wordlist".

which still seems to keep everything in a single screen in normal consoles.

I have also been thinking about something more explanatory, but it will need
two screens in normal consoles (as already happens with ispell new prompt),

_Description: System default wordlist:
 "/usr/share/dict" directory contains newline delimited lists of
 dictionary words. They are useful for word search and basic
 spell-checking, being "/usr/share/dict/words" the default wordlist
 for programs like look.
 .
 Please indicate which wordlist the "/usr/share/dict/words"
 symlink should point to. Use "Manual symlink setting" if you want to
 handle that symlink yourself.
 .
 The default wordlist can be changed at any time by running
 "select-default-wordlist".




Thanks a lot for your help,
