Hi Mark,
I've never built a lookup tool like this but it reminds me of one I used for
several years. It used the DICT protocol. If you've never looked at this
protocol, you might find it interesting. Typing 'DICT protocol' into google or
wikipedia will bring up a veritable firehose of info about it!

Just looking into this, but I'm wondering about architecting a small
stack that would allow me to input a list of words into a field, and
then click a button which would return the entire list of words with
their dictionary definitions. Ideally these would be drawn from a
source such as Merriam-Websters student dictionary (online
http://wordcentral.com/ ), or another student dictionary on the HD....
How difficult would this be to do in Rev, and what might be an
efficient way to pull it off? Or does such a tool already exist somewhere?
TIA,
Mark
