HI, This is possible. What you need to do is trap the EvtGetEvent(). >From there whenever you see penDownEvent() or penUpEvent() you can then Look at the x and y co-ordinates of the tap on the screen. You then get The word from the form and do a lookup on the meaning of it.
Very simple.

Thank you in advance.
