More ideas re: defining words

how about some highlighter tool that lets you select the text to be
used in quizzing? So I dump the text, and you just choose what needs
to be used by highlighting.

So the next step in usability for me is to have that freeform space
for defining words.
(which includes images)

So today's goal is to have that free form space available.

Could even use google define and wikipedia search for terms.

And I want the flow of the program to be more intuitive to 'flow'
from the search bar, as you would in a regular online dictionary.
This will help people ease into using it. So you enter a word in the
search bar, the most natural thing to do, and it tells you

"WORD not found in MANUAL GROUP or in LANGUAGE, looking up word in
ENGLISH dictionary

Add WORD to ENGLISH?

And all the user has to do is hit enter to add it to their list.

Find out how it works (dict.h) and import it into words.
