I am using a NeXTstation and I have the webster online.
Whenever I am at an english word that I do not understand, I
double click it and hit command-=. I found this to be more
convenient and faster than the paperback dictionary i have
right next to my mouse. I can even type on while the word is
being looked up.

PS: And yes, I haven't spellchecked this post. And I don't have
an english grammar checker :-(
