@Brian - you speak for me too. I think Oleg's scheme is the easiest mod *of that page* that can be done, but it's not so pretty. I'd thought of a parallel page, which you could make appear with a click and back again.
My preference is for Henry's proposal, which I've mashed-up in: http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Voctest/eq_iac2 I hate tool tips anyway. They never work for me cos I use a graphic tablet, not a mouse, and my pen wavers. It'll be fast enough for me to click thru to the J Dic and back again.
