Thanks, Jose! That is the one I needed. It is interesting that the "about" window of the applet and the application both display nothing other than "Dictionary 2.14.0"; but this is explained in the "help" window: the applet is a sub-set of the dictionary application. I forgot to check "help". RLH -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
