As I learn from you guys, I get more and more ambitious. Academic career is sooooo boring in comparison to this! :)
Along the same lines of what we've been doing here with reading files into variables or custom properties and then turning them into arrays, what if I wanted to have two words associated with each clickedWord: i.e. If it's a verb, I want to have the clickeWord retunr both its infinitive AND the translation. Arrays can have only one element and one key, as far as I get it. Is the only way to do this to create two files (verb + infinitive) and (verb+translation) and then have two sets of arrays (tTranslations, and tForms)? Also, if I chose to do it with custom properties -- I've read somewhere that only one set of cutom properties can be active at a time... I'm stuck again. Thanks a lot for you patience with me.
