Thanks!  Looking at that, a distant memory surfaces of my asking this
question some years before!  In any case, I'll look over that page
carefully and see what's what.  I really do prefer to have reference
dictionaries on the hard drive.  Zero access issues, and no worries
about unwanted change or the connection being broken (for whatever
reason).
