Modifying A Character Set File

Hi,
 
I want to try and see what happen if I change the iso8859-1 character set  to 
treat digits as letters and allow them in words. I have read the manual and  
know that it might have other undesirable side effects, but I still want to 
try  it. Can anyone help me with the procedure to do this?
 
So far, this is what I have tried with aspell-0.60-pre3. I copied  
iso-8859-1.cmap to iso-8859-1_new.cmap and iso-8859-1.cset to . I then edited  
iso-8859-1_new.cset and changed the type of the digit characters from 'D' to  'L'. Then 
I copied en.dat en_new.dat, and edited en_new.dat to change "charset  
iso8859-1" to "charset iso8859-1_new" .
 
I then used language en_new when doing a spellcheck, but so far it doesn't  
seem to be working. It doesn't seem to find any misspellings at all now.
 
Any help would be appreciated. I'm not quite clear on whether I need to  
download aspell-lang* and create a whole new character set to try just this  small 
change.
