  Yes, Darin. I know of a small dictionary program that stores as many
definitions as memory allows, although it is designed to 'grow' as you use
it. (It is not a commercial program). You can add new words by searching
through existing text files that you have laying around, etc. Right now
mine has 4,000 words that I have added, most of which are definitions from
school classes (psychology and Italian). Well, the group that makes it is
called "Total Production" (formerly known as Toto Productions). I am sure that
the author would be glad to send you a copy. His phone number is 2-3605. 
The name of the program is VocabX 1.1.
