Hi Larry I would put it in live code but! The LC issue with relational databases is not so good. That is why the LC people used DataGrids to do the Dictionary and that doesn't present the best way to do searches and to use a relational table design.
My issue with LiveCode is you need to first learn the language, and that is a starting point to then learn the scripting. I wanted to develop a tool that allows me to do a global search by a word, or a phrase and then see everything in the entire dictionary that has that word or phrase. It also needs to allow the users to add their own code or definitions data to any part of the dictionary. I wanted it to have subrecords under the main LC dictionary words where the user could add their own custom uses for that term. Then also have user defined search words that are a part of extensions and plugins. I also wanted plugin and extensions developers to add their custom content to the user defined area. Not done yet, then custom behaviors usage and custom property example can be added to the user defined records. The icing on the cake is the built in Google translation editor where users can convert any text to their language. All of the data will be available to edit, copy and paste into external media or scripts. NOTE: I have hundreds of hours in the development and that is only to add data, it will have ongoing support to maintain the dictionary. That does not include the hosting fees. So I will have two types of users, those who can see all of the records, but cannot edit or copy data. Then for an annual donation of $12.00 or $1 month per user you will have full access to all the features like editing copy, paste an so on.
