well I never, dictionary frontends must be very sexy. I just found
Alexander's dict.el on Dejanews[1], and his predates mine so I will
rename. But note that it is an interface to a local dictd server, not
to dict.org, and that there is a IMO far superior dictionary.el for
that purpose by Torsten Hilbrich at [2]. My dict.el is useful when you
don't have a local dictd server but have permanent internet access.
