Here is what I got:

~$ aspell -d
Error: You must specify a parameter for "-d".
~$ aspell --master
Error: You must specify a parameter for "--master".
~$ aspell -d id
Error: You must specify an action
~$ aspell --lang=id
Error: You must specify an action

I just want to be able to use the "id" dictionary, not to set it as default.

Cheers,

Brian
