Hi, Walt.
I don't see why, if one divided it into 26 files, so the file
wouldn't be too big, one couldn't use the search function to look up words
quite easily. I pity the poor person trying to look up the definition of
"the", but longer and less common words, which would probably be in more
demand for a native English speaker anyhow, would probably be relatively
simple to do. I can't try this, of course, since I know of no complete
dictionary in a format that can be sent to the BP.

I'd think that would be almost impossible to use.

Hello.
Typically when working on the computer, if I need to look up a word I either
do it from within what ever program I'm using, Word, Kurzweil, etc, or if
I'm willing to put more time into it I may look on the net at something like
dictionary.com. What I'd like to do, is find one in one big file so I can
load it into the book port. I don't need it so detailed that it'll take up a
massive amount of space on my flashcard, but I do want it to be well edited
and not have to contend with scanning errors.
Ideas?
Thanks, and happy holidays.
Tiffany
