Hey, I've just upgraded to Radio 8.0.2 and my new editor functions are still there. I know it's not the safe way to do it but until I figure out a more permanent way this should do. 3:40:00 PM

Ok, it's getting late (actually it's getting early, very early in the morning) but this is what I did. I added a new function called "lookUpWrd" to the wysiwyg editor. It uses the disk icon for now, until I get around to making a new toolbar image. You simply select a word and click on the disk icon and it automatically creates a link to dictionary.com that will open a new window with the word's definition when clicked. It's that simple. If nothing is selected when you click on the disk icon, you'll receive a message asking you to please select a word. You should be able to get the code here (gems/newEditBox_1.txt). Enjoy! 3:36:57 AM

And now the word to look up - vicariously - should open up in a new window. 3:25:33 AM

Ok, if this is working correctly, you should now be able to click on the following word - philomath  - and look it up at dictionary.com 3:21:56 AM
