   I'm trying to write a function that will take the word under the
cursor, look it up and pass back a number of words for the user to
choose from. The chosen word should then be substituted back into the
text. I was hopeing to do the main part of this in C, since I know
nothing about Lisp... So, what I basically need is the Lisp code for the
interaction between the C program and Emacs.

Has anyone done anything remotely similar?

I would be very grateful for any hints, pointers to source, archives
or manuals that would be helpful here. Please EMail, our news feed is
rather erratic at the moment...

If those two bounces, try ds@ifi.uio.no and I'll get it somehow...
