It's in the dictionary, but parts of it are on different pages.

Consider, for example, http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/dict3.htm

Or, for that matter, http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/intro20.htm

Or, maybe click on the "Dic" link in the top nav and browse around a
bit... (Note also that the "Voc" link in the top nav corresponds to
the "Vocabulary" link in the dictionary table of contents.)

Thanks,
