Presumably this solution only applies if you are using MLTE - we draw  
our own text using ATSUI so we handle the carbon input events  
ourselves. I presume that the kHICommandLearnWord event is something  
sent to the application when someone clicks the Learn button in the  
Cocoa spelling panel - but I need to know how to get the same  
functionality using my own dialog. How do I add the word to the user  
dictionary (step 2)? Can I send the kHICommandLearnWord event - and  
if so does it have any parameters I need to set (eg the word to be  
added?)
