Thanks for the links.  That was how I initially thought it best to
handle the dictionary, but on second thought I believe Jiang's
suggestion (well, almost) of using

showDefinitionForAttributedString:range:options:baselineOriginProvider:

is better (although it is 10.6 only).  The reason being that it can
handle the situation where the selection is empty and also that it
works properly with strings like "las vegas" when only "vegas" is
selected (it looks up "las vegas" instead of just "vegas").
