Ah, agrep's a good idea.  One thing Emacs does not do is fuzzy
search.  Hmm....

Sure.  Any *term can bind the function keys with X-resources and
probably even via ANSI control sequences, and any Xt program can
override keybindings with translations.  Presumably you can do this
with GTK and/or GNOME apps.  If you're real lucky there might even be
a "wizard" or "talking guttersnipe" or something to do it for you.

BTW, as long as I'm here ... I can't get through to your hotmail
address (hotmail is rejecting with extreme prejudice all contacts from
my host, and come to think of it, I'm just as happy that way.[1]  So the
message bounced...).

You ought to get in touch with Frank Bennett
<bennett@example.com> about your non-public-access ideas
for translation engines.  You're probably somewhat behind in the area
already, and he's certainly done a lot of thinking about the business
/ open source relationship.
