arguments have been inverted in order to allow the replacement of the word

New external programs and libaries:
-----------------------------------
LyX 2.0 introduces support for some new external helper programs/libraries,
while the support for some existing programs has been dropped. This
particularly applies to spell checking and the thesaurus.
1.) SPELLCHECKING:
* Direct support for ispell and hspell has been dropped. However, ispell
and hspell are still accessible via the enchant wrapper (see below).
* Support for the aspell command line program has been dropped. Note that
the aspell library (aspell 0.60.x) is still supported.
* Next to aspell (library), LyX now also supports hunspell (the spell
checker used by OpenOffice and Firefox) and enchant, a wrapper that
provides automatic access to many spell checking libraries (ispell,
aspell, hspell, hunspell, etc.).
LyX 2.0 is configured for any and multiple of these three possibilities,
given that they are installed on the machine where LyX is configured on.
The actual spell checker can be selected in Tools > Preferences.
Packagers are advised to pre-select whatever is most common on their
platform/distribution.
2.) THESAURUS:
* Support for the aiksaurus library has been dropped in favour of the
MyThes thesaurus library (the thesaurus library used by OpenOffice).
* LyX ships the MyThes library itself, so contrary to LyX 1.6.x, no
extra thesaurus library needs to be installed. However, LyX does not
ship any thesaurus dictionary.
* The OpenOffice thesaurus dictionaries can be used, but the path to those
dictionary needs to be set in Tools > Preferences. Please refer to the
UserGuide, sec. 6.13, for further instructions.
Packagers are advised to preset the thesaurus for their distribution/
platform. Packagers of installation bundles (on Windows and the Mac)
are advised to provide automatic installation of thesaurus disctionaries
in the installation process (analoguous to the spellchecker installation).
