I'm not sure if this will suffice, but I have an alias called
'spell' which simply does 'grep !* /usr/dict/words' (I don't use the
spell subsystem, so I get away with this alias. You can then do any
regular expression search:
spell oo /* find all words having oo
spell "^req" /* find all words begining with "req"
etc...
Hope that's good enough!
Ivan
