If by "What happened when you did:" you mean dictionary.com and yourdictionary.com? Nothing, they work but screen scraping isn't medicore at best. They both work fine (yourdictionary is better for screen scraping) but. I want maybe an offline soloution. But the whole reason for the program is that I can type in 20 words at one time, get them defined and formatted and then save all from my app. So far, all is good, I just need an offline soloution, or one from a database. You say a free dictionary program. But how can I get definitions from another program w/o opening it? Anyway, Ideas?
