Thanks Curtis. I had little choice in the matter.

  Wow, what a munificent thing for you to do Jerry! That took a lot of work, 
pertinacity, intelligence and patience to do right.

    Good morning folks.
     
    As a professor of linguistics, I began, years ago, to search for software 
that would allow me to move between all the Romance languages with ease, 
software that would incorporate extensive vocabularies and grammatical 
categories. Unable to find anything satisfactorily accessible, I finally bought 
software and modules for French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese for 
UltraLingua, a highly mouse-driven program. Although I took my time to script 
this program, it is now fully accessible, enabling instantaneous switching 
between languages, depending on the language of the word or expression in 
focus. 
     
    I have not mentioned this before since I did not believe that my older 
version, 4.3.4, was still available. It turns out that it is. Although 
UltraLingua is now up to version 6.1, from what I have been able to discern, 
the differences between the newer and older versions are primarily cosmetic, 
the newer versions even less accessible than previous ones.
     
    Anyone wishing to obtain these scripts should write to me offline at:

    Since my scripts are highly specific to version 4.3.4 of UltraLingua, the 
UltraLingua application must be the same.  My scripts work well in versions of 
JFW 5.x to the most recent, version 9.
