I'm pretty sure that this is due to a change over at Merriam Websters.
 Their cgi-bin link just doesn't work anymore.

I've already dirtied my own sandbox's mwd.xml.  But I don't think the regular
"mwd" search worked anymore either.  Somebody with a clean sandbox
could try it out by typing,

mwd <word>

in the DQSD.  The popups haven't been a problem.  I've had this
working for years.

Environments:

launchmode=1;  (On two computers.  Default browser is Mozilla Firefox
3.0.1. on each.)
OS: Windows XP (on one computer), Windows Vista (on another)
