Hi, Chuck: Just to be clear, dict is also available as a network connected client service in a command you type at the shell prompt. It's extensible in terms of which dictionary resources are accessed. And, it's possible to run a dict server and create a new dictionary--something I've recommended in certain instances to certain folks.
