My script *is* a graphical dictionary!
Heh - did you try it at all?

Peter, I came late to the thread and have deleted your previous post.
Could you re-post your script or send it directly to me at the earthlink
eddress included herein? I would certainly appreciate it.
That is, if it is released under the GNU set of licenses.
;-]

Heheh :-)

I think everyone is safe. I can't afford lawyers... ;-P

Yes, you may consider it 'Copyleft Peter Garrett, GPL 2 or later, at your
option', etc. etc. :D

It's getting a bit verbose and over-commented, sorry.
Bloat is setting in already... <grin>

# Revision 0.0.2-pre-alpha. Changelog: Added --width and --height
# Save this somewhere sensible, like /usr/local/bin/dictionary ,
# and make executable, of course. Add launcher / icon to taste.
# A tiny on-line dictionary - install the "dict" package and
# "zenity" to use...

WORD=$(zenity --width 300 --entry --title Dictionary)
if [ $? -gt 0 ] ; then
exit
else
dict $WORD > /tmp/dict
zenity --width 500 --height 500 \
--title Definition --text-info < /tmp/dict \
exit
fi


You might want to play with the --width and --height options.
