Thanks, Lee. I suppose Sherlock is damaged. It won't do. But i am grateful for letting me know of those websites. they will work fine. I have already tried them out. I had also been upset that Appleworks does not have a German dictionary in it, only French, Spanish and Italian; now I can use the Merriam Webster for English ( I used to use it in the Worldbook, but it was cumbersome) and this other site for all the German special dictionaries, ( even the computer terms,)too. I put them into weblocs for quick access. Again, thanks. Marta On Jul 2, 2004, at 9:35, Lee Larson wrote:
