The dictionary is no longer intermixed with the code. Everything is still in
one segment, but the dictionary could be moved anywhere. It contains only
data, e.g:
dd previous_word
dd xt_of_this_word
db count, 'name of word'
In preparation for real 'vocabulary's, the macro words are in a separate
dictionary. All this is transparent to Reva -- it is still looking things up
the same way; dictionaries are linked lists. I did not yet implement your
find enhancement of moving words to the front of the list as they are
referenced (but if you want to implement it for me on Reva, I will gladly
accept it :-)

Hmm. It seems my laptop is more advanced than I thought :-)
