Janina, Thanks. The www.dict.org website has a lot of options too, including lookup with the soundex algorithm, in case you are unclear about spelling. Plus you can direct your lookup to Bible data bases too. I wonder if the dict client you are talking about is a front end for the services on this website? I have been relying on a wordnet installed on my system, which is better than nothing, but I see that wordnet is also available with the www.dict.org searches and is consulted by default, along with other databases. Excellent resources for students and writers, makes one want to study and write!
