how to disturb newbies

[larry at significantplanet.org]

Hi Bill
As I already replied to Richard:
It seems you missed my point.
I am NOT talking about the LC user base modifying the Dictionary we all use.
I specifically said: MY Dictionary.
In other words, just my own copy of the Dictionary on my machine.
I apologize if I did not make that more clear.
Thanks,
Larry
