RE: [DQSD-Users] Can I change the default dict from dictionary.com to merriamwebster.com?
Title: Message > Do I delete everything else in the localalias.txt doc so that all that's there is this one line at the very top Not necessary. But you can trim it down to only contain actual aliases that you want. Most of my localaliases is listed below. (note some of mine use the tab and some use the | as the delimiter. i really should standardize it.) > Is >>, Configure , Reload the same as entering 1 or I or | or ! in the text box? In other words, I can't tell what the character "DQSD by entering ! in the text box." is so I pressed Configure > Reload. Yes. The character is an exclamation point ! Also, am I correct that I would always have to include the prefix d ? If so, it's not much different than what works now = ": octogenaria" In fact, "d" or ":" saves a step, as I don't have to mouse the >> to get to dictionary.com or Merriam. Yes d and : would be the same thing. I did not realize that Merriam Webster already had the colon ":" as an alias . This would make adding an alias for d for Merriam Webster redundant.

Hi Monty:
Thanks for replying.
Since posting my question I discovered that by adding the
prefix mwd in front of a word it brings up the def in Merriam Webster's
dict (which has the free feature of pronunciation). :=)
Where do I find the instructions on how to make an
"alias?"
Thanks, Kerry

There already exists a merriamwebster search -
mwd. Why not create an alias to call mwd instead?
