On this page there is a link for more information about a 'Home and School' dictionary. Be aware however that this may be a USA dictionary, therefore having crap definitions for some words. This is a special needs orientated site, so it may be useful. Cheers, Bob. -- [log in to unmask] No! Don't knit for me. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
