That's why. But may be arthur works at the command line too. I don't know. But dict works just fine for my needs ... I like its simplicity. Thanks for the hint though, I had not known of arthur before. Regards Zenaan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
