You're welcome, sometimes I wonder why it isn't more well known, the 
concept works really well.

Another thing you could do with this concept is adding pop up hints to 
english web sites, where each word in the page is looked up in 
http://www.everything2.com or http://www.gnupedia.org or 
http://www.dictionary.com.

Oh well, I need more hours in a day :-)

Cheers,
