Phil, I missed your initial message on this topic, but i saw Linda's
reply.  However, if you or anyone is looking for a great Thesaurus
program, get hold of the Webster's Professional Online thesaurus.  Now,
I may not have the name exactly right because I can't get into it from
here and look it up.  Wait, I think it's the Webster's online
Professional New world Thesaurrus.  It's put out by Simon and Schouster,
and it's commerciall.
the way it works is that you can call it up from within your
word-processing program via a hotkey which is user-definable.  I love
it, and it can serve as a dictionary as well, because it offers phrases
as well as words.

P.S. next time I', in Word Perfect, I'll write down the exact name and
give it to you.

I had to order mine from Egghead software, and at first, they hadn't
ever heard of it, but it's really a good program.

Paula
