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.
