	    -l"

INTERACTIVE MODE
     In  interactive  mode you iterate through each of the errors found. In each
     prompt you can press a to add the word to a file's X-POFile-SpellExtra  en-
     try,  n  to  ignore all further errors from this file, Enter to ignore this
     error or, if you are using one or more dictionary files, the number of  the
     file (1, 2, ...) to add the word to that dictionary file.

PO FILE HEADER DIRECTIVES
     POFileSpell  recognizes  one  PO file header directive. As with all gettext
     lint tools, this directive is prefixed with X-POFile.

     X-POFile-SpellExtra: word
	    adds the word to the file's list of accepted words

DICTIONARY FILE FORMAT
     Dictionary files are just lists of words, one on each line. For example:

     word 1
     word 2
     word n
