dictionary dream (was [Re: finding the name of the displayed card of stack foo?] )

[Jacques Hausser]

Hy Mark,

Thank you for the information. Useful stack ! But it fills my dreams only partially: it does not give the correct equivalent of "wrong-but-logical" commands like e.g. "fill field "XXX" with…". And as far as I can see, it doesn't (yet ?) allow to extend a list of such "vrong-but-logical" commands and their correct equivalents. Such a list could only be built progressively by users. 

Jacques

It could be an online process contributed by the users: I was trying to find: (intuitive command) and finally discovered it was: (existing command).
