[stylist] Writers References Question

[Homme, James]

Hi Brad,
If you find a specific site that you like, tell me. I'll try to write a ResearchIt query for it. Right now, I'm sneaking up on learning to use the tool. My first one was the daily bible reading from the Bible Gateway that brings back the Old and New Testament reading for the current day, as long as you know the abbreviation for the Bible version you want to read. The text that comes back isn't totally formatted optimally, but that's probably the product of my need to understand what this stuff can do as I pick up more about how to use it. It's not a JAWS specific thing. It's a whole query language that JAWS happens to know how to use, and it's built around an open-source tool. 

Thanks.

Jim

I use it for the odd Wikipedia and Wiktionary searches. As a writer I've
often thought a comprehensive thesaurus would be extremely helpful.

I don't use it as much as I had when it first came out.

Hi,
I've been mucking around with the JAWS ResearchIt facility, which has
prompted this question. As a writer, do you use the ResearchIt tool, and
what do you think of it? And, is there an online reference or references
that you wish it could look things up in?

Thanks.

Jim
