Go to www.atomica.com and download. Then, when you see word on screen that you wish clarified, pronounced, list of nuanced meanings, spelling, etc., just put your cursor (or I-beam) over the word, hold it down, and click on alt key. Up pops all the details. And it's free, runs quietly in the background and you don't even know its there. Only downside is you have to be on-line to use it because the program "goes to fetch" the word in question. If you are running on DSL or Cable Modem that's not a problem because technically you are "always" on line even if you aren't hooked to your ISP. Maynard
