No secret - it is all the files I have tipped together with a priority
rank attached, then sorted according to kanji/kana/rank and the lower-ranked
duplicates dropped. The priorities are all in the docs page.

No hope in hell of working. Things like RoboWord sit there trapping
Windows API calls. It needs real trojan and virus-prone Windows facilities 
to do that.

Can you make it loop looking for something to turn up? That was a nice feature
of the one that Todd & I started on. No keystrokes at all; just highlight the
text. ISTR it sits in a 1000ms sleep loop doing a "catch" on the cut buffer.
