Paul, Thanks for your message: >... Actually, this idea was implemented the right way over 10 years > ago in the (pre-web) NeXTSTEP "Services" architecture.

Yes; I agree with the comment about "link smog," too. Please see: http://www.webreference.com/js/column12/crossbrowser.html Do any browsers (other than Mozilla) allow their operators to add a JavaScript procedure to the pop-up or pull-down menus, or as a new browser button? I don't see how to use ordinary bookmarks for this. You could keep a seperate window around with an onclick-scripted button that opens a new window with your favorite dictionary's definition looked up from the document selection. Cheers, James
