add a word to a dictionary

Hello,
I have tried to add a word to a dictionary

1) creating the dictionary:

aspell --lang=en create master ./claimswl < claims.txt

and then:
aspell --dict-dir=./ -d claimswl -a
@(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell 0.60.6)
*myNewWord

now the man says that # saves this addition.
but # does not return to the prompt.

What should I do ?

second: how to dump the contents of the dictionary ?

Rgs,
Mark
