I posted this question to c.s.m.hypercard but have gotten no response, maybe
one of you can help.  I am writing a stack that will search through a text-
file dictionary on disk for a word that was selected from a paragraph in a 
field.  Does anybody have any good ideas/scripts/XCMD's that may provide help
in searching this text file to get the definitions.  

The dictionary will look like this:

Word
Definition

Word
Definition

(etc..)

When the word is found, the definition will be put into a field on the screen

You can E-mail or post.

Thanks
