>Do you have some manuals/tutorials for the dict, I have not found a way >out from dict --help and man dict dict <the word> | less There are a whole lot of additions [packages] to dict, I use most of them and have done for years. I recall years ago you didn't need to pipe dict through less, but have had to do it for the last few years. Be aware there are words that dict doesn't recognise and then I go onto the net dictionaries/thesaurus's where I find they are. Dict covers most American words I think, but there is some English spelling that doesn't work. But they are few and far between. $ aptitude search dict | less will find them, but I have never worried about trying to save the words I look up, if I don't remember them just dict them again.
