Thank you for the explanation. I guessed something was corrupted so I erased all the files and reloaded 3.05, then did the upgrade without changing any language options, and everything seems to work fine. I can live with the ~2MB size of the present TPS files and the 3MB of the DIC files. When it started doing all that hard drive whirring that didn't stop I guessed incorrectly that it was adding many MB of more DIC files. I didn't realize programs 'erased files' I thought they just abandoned the memory location, and let the next process overwrite. Thanks for clearing up a misunderstanding.

The DIC files are spell check dictionary files and if you never run the spell chekcer, you could simply delete those files if you wish. (but not the TPS file).
