    If you have any urgent request let me know here and I will try to give higher priority.
    I wouldn't call my need urgent. I'm only exploring. But, I thought this piece of the Dictionary module implentation was interesting. Have you worked on this part? If not, do you know how you will do it?

    I had an idea in the past, even worked on it in Liberty Basic for a while, of creating a game like Who wants to be a Millionaire? Back then, more than a year ago, I was playing with the idea of using Random Access Files to store the questions, answers, as well as some other info for each question. This Dictionary module sounds like it might work, and opening a saved dictionary would be even awesomer (yeah yeah, I know ... not a word).

    Well,

    we usually give priority to what thinBasic users ask.
    I will give a go to this request after next thinBasic will be out.

    Ciao

    dear eros:-), hi all :-)

    - although it's quite (yet) a unknown area for me, I have thought it will be useful to use the "dictionary" as the word in my language say in common to "translate" words, for example english into german or into spanish ;-).

    - would be great to load "thumbnails" or "pics" to, perhaps even a "data base" of thinBasic Users here or "mp3" files? :-)

    - the idea behind the dictionary is good! I have followed your first link to the hash module...

    - to load/to save data from disk/dvd would be nice...

    little input more...
    I have understood your script as well as I tried it some minutes before to advance it...

    good evening, servus, Lionheart
    hope you have had a relaxed day ;-)

    This statement isn't as true anymore. I probably won't use the Dictionary feature in my current plans, so there is no urgent need from my perspective. I like the information I have found about using a Microsoft Access database with ODBC. That path seems to fit my current idea.

    Although if the Dictionary module is to be popular, it would seem that a save feature would be not a plus but a requirement, but it isn't needed by me for the moment.
