> Do I delete everything else in the localalias.txt doc so that all that's there is this one line at the very top   Not necessary.  But you can trim it down to only contain actual aliases that you want.  Most of my localaliases is listed below. (note some of mine use the tab and some use the | as the delimiter.  i really should standardize it.)    > Is >>, Configure ,  Reload the same as entering 1 or I or | or ! in the text box? In other words, I can't tell what the character "DQSD by entering ! in the text box." is so I pressed Configure > Reload.  Yes.  The character is an exclamation point !   Also, am I correct that I would always have to include the prefix d ?   If so, it's not much different than what works now = ": octogenaria" In fact, "d" or ":" saves a step, as I don't have to mouse the >> to get to dictionary.com or Merriam.  Yes d and : would be the same thing.  I did not realize that Merriam Webster already had the colon ":" as an alias .  This would make adding an alias for d for Merriam Webster redundant.   JB       // localaliases.txt // ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- // This is where you can add your own aliases.
