Ok.  I've looked through all of the various places I could try.  A patch
came through for ispell which implements "L", a lookup option.  Based
on some ifdefs it would use "look" or "egrep", both which use a dictionary
in /usr/dict.  The dictionary could be called "words" or "web2".

What package does "look" come in?  Is it public domain or part of some
product?  How does it function?

Thanks for any help!  I'll post a summary of responses.

"Now," said the butterfly, "look closer and tell me what you see."
"I see a tiny horse with wings upon its back" said Flutterby. "Why that's
 me I see!  But what am I?"
"You are you. Just as I am me!" said the wise old butterfly.  "Nothing more,
 nothing less."
