Is it limited to 100-200? AFAIK you can store a lot more, but I have
alt..rec active, maybe that expends the space for added word?
In case you're looking for getting better recognition by expanding your
(Swedish?) word list I would first recommend to get a dictionary and
ask Paul Guyot instructions how to build a special dictionary for the
Newt.
Ask any of the happy users of the French, Italian, Dutch, Finnish,
Estonian, Danish and Brazilian Portuguese dictionaries how it improved
their Newts...

Now there used to be a German package for this, been so long ago that I
used it that I don't remember anymore. I abandoned it for Paul's
solution though and never looked back.

No clue how to do that.
