Still having dictionary-difficulties in 3.80.

As the topic suggests, I'm still having some dictionary-troubles with MUSHclient 3.80. I install it in a new directory as per release-notes suggestion, and when I first start it, it throws an error out at me: "Can't find dict-files, now using defaults" or somesuch, it's all very good, just what I want, so I just click it away without further thought.

Now I'm eager to play something, so I open a world, and type something. *BANG* "Error opening dictionary file: C:\blabla\MUSHclient3.80\spelluserdic.tlx" The path is correct, that's where I installed the client, and there's indeed no spelluserdic.tlx file there.

Fine, I'll just create my own. I do that, create spelluserdic.tlx at the indicated location, using MUSHclient's create dict. feature, and add my world-specific new word. *BANG* "Error opening dictionary file: C:\blabla\MUSHclient3.75\spell\ssceam2.clx" Huh? I thought MUSHclient was using defaults now? That's not the current install-dir, so it can't very well be a default, now can it?

Fine, I'll just add the ones that seem to be the right ones on my own. I add accent.tlx, correct.tlx, ssceam.tlx and userdic.tlx from MUSHclient3.80/spell/, click 'Close' and 'Ok'. *BANG* "Spell Check user dictionary '<comma-separated list of all files I added, +spelluserdict.tlx>' not found, using defaults now." Ok, wtf is going on here?

Fine, I click 'ok', and check the dictionaries-options. The only dictionary remaining listed is spelluserdict.tlx now, but some basic spellchecking-functionality does indeed work and I honestly can't really be bothered to spend as much time fiddling now as I did last time with the precursor to this problem, so I just leave it be, after writing this post of course.
