Actually, the locked file problem which I mentioned only applies to the auto-correction dictionary.
On the Pocket PC, there are several types of built-in dictionaries which can be edited:
1) Word Completion Dictionary
2) Spell Checking Dictionary - for word processing apps
3) Auto-correction Dictionary
For the word completion feature, it is divided into 3 portions:
1) Main dictionary with common english words
2) Custom dictionary
3) Words stored in the memory which are cleared after a soft reset
For the Spell Checking dictionary, is is divided into the main dictionary and also the custom dictionary.
As for auto-correction dictionary, the OS locks the file after a soft reset if it has been edited before. There is only 1 dictionary used for auto-correction feature. The work-around I suggested was a clumsy one, but is the best and only way I can think of. As for the spell checking dictionary and the word completion dictionary, there are no issues with editing them over and over again. Those files are never lockec by the OS.
