Heheh  :-)

I think everyone is  safe. I can't afford lawyers... ;-P

Yes, you may consider it 'Copyleft Peter Garrett, GPL 2 or later, at your
option', etc. etc.  :D

It's getting a bit verbose and over-commented,  sorry. 
Bloat is setting in already...  <grin>

#!/bin/bash

# Revision 0.0.2-pre-alpha.  Changelog: Added --width and --height
# Save this somewhere sensible, like /usr/local/bin/dictionary , 
# and make executable, of course. Add launcher / icon to taste.
# A tiny on-line dictionary - install the "dict" package  and 
# "zenity" to use...

        WORD=$(zenity --width 300 --entry --title Dictionary)
        if [ $? -gt 0 ] ; then
                exit
        else
                dict $WORD > /tmp/dict
                zenity --width 500 --height 500 \
			  --title Definition --text-info < /tmp/dict \
		 exit
	fi


You might want to play with the --width and --height options.
