On monu6.cc.monash.edu.au (130.194.1.106) in pub/nihongo you'll find
Jim Breen's "edict" which has a small list that might be of use to you.
There are other things in there as well that you might find of interest.

If you can run perl, I can let you have a program that both helps search
edict and kanjidic (Jim's database of kanji info), as well as quizzing...

"Romanji" is not correst. It must be read as "romaji" (ro^mazi.)

For what level are you looking?  I have a fairly extensive list of 3rd
year words that I could send you ("fairly extensive" = 18 pages).  What
formats can you accept?  It's WordPerfect 2.2J, but I can dump a text
file and mail it to you, if you can handle that.

	Likewise, I have the first 6 lessons of the text, 
	"Current Japanese:  Intercultural Communication" 
	(Yoshiko Higurashi) in edict/Kanji-Guess format.
	(Though, the vocabulary is not broken down by lesson).

	I think it's in EUC format, but I can convert.

	This may not be useful as a "FAQ word list" (a hopeless
	idea, anyway).  Here, we use the text in the 4th year
	..  Useless, though, if you don't know the kana. 

	I used to have a copy of the vocabulary from all of the
	Hartz Jorden "Japanese: The Spoken Language" books, but
	I lost that (:-( ) in an HD crash.

At over 30,000 entries, edict is hardly a small seed.

Probably a better start is the "*.kg" files in Mark Edwards' KG program.
If Kauko has a PC, he/she is well advised to try out KG as a drill
program.
