Hi Flor,
No, I'm not trying to install any dictionary at this point in time at any
rate!
This all started with me reading an email before xmas on this [I think that
it may have been from yourself Flor], mentioning five such dictionaries so I
got interested in the posdsibility of having more than one installed in
either or both jaws & Kurzweil 1000.
Unless there are any more thoughts on this
subject I have no further questions on this for now!
Thanks.
All the best,
Tony Sweeney. ----- Original Message -----
