	I'm not sure if this will suffice, but I have an alias called
'spell' which simply does 'grep !* /usr/dict/words' (I don't use the
spell subsystem, so I get away with this alias.  You can then do any
regular expression search:

	spell oo	/* find all words having oo
	spell "^req"	/* find all words begining with "req"

	etc...

	Hope that's good enough!

	Ivan
