Each company licenses dictionaries from firms that specialize in this. We're just given code to compile and we don't change what we're given. The licenses don't allow this. BTW, Softwood and Digita both licensed the same dictionary systems, so there's no overlap in content. What you're asking for really is OS level dictionary support. It's unbelievable, but it's 1996 and we still don't have that in any major OS. It's something that should have been added years ago. Regards, Michael SoftLogik
