If you dual a Fighter to anything, you regain your weapon proficiencies when your new class is one level higher than the level you had prior to dualing. However, there are 2 major exceptions: a) fighters who dualed to clerics lose their proficiencies in edged or piercing weapons and b) those who dualed to druids lose their proficiencies in all weapons druids can't use.
THAC0 and Saving Throws are reset to the new class when dual-classing and recovered when the dual-classing process is complete. However, hit points and ability scores aren't changed (including exceptional strenght scores).
Unfortunately, weapon proficiency points for the *same* weapon are NOT cummulative. For example, you have a fighter with 4+ in Hammers and you dual-class. Then you assign a 1+ in Hammers while you're only a cleric. When the dualling process is completed, you WON'T have 5+ in Hammers, but only 4+.
This may sound complicated, but that's the way it is. When you get more experience, you see that dual-classed characters are REALLY powerful.
