 WordRef is OK but pretty clumsy. [This is a Macintosh program. The other
   posting about number insertion using F3 is dandy, for DOS Word 5.]

 What would be really useful is if someone knows  [someone who knows]
   enough PostScript to write a little macro that could be used as a glossary
   entry for Mac users. I'd love to see this.  It can't entail too much code.
 
 Somebody?  Anybody?
