The other day I bought a Thesaurus DA called Word Finder (tm) by 
Microlytics.  I have not had a thesaurus on my computer since my 
office mate convinced me to give up my PC (with MS Word) in favor 
of a Mac II.  I missed having a thesaurus.

Word Finder is installed like any other DA except that there is a data 
file (thesaurus data) that has to be available.  When you evoke Word 
Finder you get an extra little menu item WF.  The amazing, brilliant, 
exceptional, extraordinary, phenomenal, remarkable, significant, 
super (a few of the Word Finder suggestions) thing is that when you 
select a word, be it in a Word document, Edit document, or even a 
HyperCard Stack field, and click at the WF Lookup (or type 
<command>L) the Word Finder dialog box is right there with suggestions.
Pick a replacement, click at  Replace and you are on you way again.

I am delighted by my little Word Finder DA.  It is easy to use and 
powerful in the sense that it is there when and where you want it, 
you don't have to go looking for it.  The thesaurus data is pretty good 
too.

Least you think I am real easy to please, let me tell you about 
Reports.  The posting is in comp.sys.mac.hypercard.
