edict and dictionaries

[<tnetdev@example.com>]

Hi,

 This is my first post on this list so greets to all.

I have emacs/mule installed on my box with a a single edict dictionary
active.  However I have installed multiple dictionaries on the box
but don't know how to link them for searching.

a) can i have the dictionary selectable (similar to the fonts)
  in a drop down menu?

b) can I have the edict script check *all* dictionaries?


and for both if so - how so? :)


cheers!

Joe

ps On a slightly more serious note does anyone know a url 
with a list of missing japanese?
