Sometimes, you just have to teach your online dictionary a lesson or two! :D

I am a bit lost. Are you saying that, though 'program' is an accepted
option to the usual spelling of 'programme' (radio), 'program' (as in
computer) has no accepted optional spelling as 'programme'? Sounds very
transatlantic if you ask me....
I believe the UK spelling of the broadcast form is programme, while the computing form is program. Am I right Susan?
By the way, in PowerMail the spell checker is marking out programme as
incorrectly spelled. It's using the Apple Services spellchecker, I think,
with the OS set to UK English (OSX 10.3.6).
