compile dictionary list with wordlists containing non-alphanumeric characters

Hi:
 
I am trying to compile a custom dictionary with words like:
 
A's
A+D
A-Fil
A-Hist
A-Hydrocort
A-Methapred
A-bomb
A-bomb's
A-bombs
A-bombs'
A-one
A.A.
A.B.
A.B.A.
A.D.
A.F.L.-C.I.O.
A.F.L.-C.I.O.'s
 
I tried to use the command:
 
aspell --lang=en create master ./meditest < mywords.txt
 
and it errors out for every word that has non-alphanumeric characters
like '+-, etc.  What's the best way of dealing with this?  Do I have to
remove all these characters for it to work?  
 
I am doing this to create a dictionary specific to Pathlogist; the
current medical dictionary on Aspell doesn't have much words in that
particualr area.
 
Thanks.
 
Jon
