There is an AppleScript scripting addition called XSpell that provides
AppleScript commands for checking spelling but that doesn't help if
you want the definitions.
Actually, I do want the dictionary app to open. My program is
intended to be like a compliment to the dictionary app. That and I
figure why try to reinvent the wheel.
I would check out the Dictionary Dashboard widget (open the widget's
package and browse through the files there). You may find it uses
shell commands or something that you can modify for your purposes.
Ummm..... Ok, don't laugh at me, but I don't use Dashboard and have
it disabled. So I don't know much about that. Where would I find
the widgets for dashboard? :-(
Alternatively, what happens if instead of revGoURL, you use load URL
"dict:///...."? If you can get the data directly that way, it would
probably be the best solution.
I haven't tried that, but just for the fun of it will try it. As
noted above, I really don't want to mess with the data at all.
My next task will be to try and figure out how to get Dictionary.app
to send a word to my program. Probably not possible though.
Cheers,
Sarah
Thank you Sarah :-)
