[nabs-l] Accessible Online Dictionary?

[Ben J. Bloomgren]

Jewel,

I'm sorry that I called you Joy earlier but:

Use your heading commands (h, shift+h, insert+f6) to try to get around the 
ads. Also, do a find on the page with ctrl+f to find the word that you just 
searched. You can get around the bullcrap by searching for that same word.

Ben
