I have tried to post this message twice in the group comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.misc.  However, that has been to no avail.  I hope that someone here will respond.  I would like to be able to write a program that allows a user to select a word that is part of a particular piece of text(i.e. I might want the user to be able to select the word fox in the sentence "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy sleeping dog.")  What I am looking for would be similar to the way that hypercard/hypertext works.  Onc


e the user clicks on the word, further information on that word would be given.  Can anyone here tell me how it can be done in Windows.  Or even DOS, for that matter.  Maybe I can figure out how to port it.  

Thanks,
Talib
