Ok ... nice litte app.  It took me a long time to download the websters
dictionary to test it with though!

Presumably there are some public servers on the internet ... might I 
suggest
supplying a config file set up to point to them so that people don't 
need to
download the dict server and databases.

Possibly the app could offer a preferences panel to let you configure it 
to
select a dict server to use.  Another nice enhancement would be socks 
support
(I'm behind a firewall).

Oh ... I noticed a crash at Document.m:430, probably because the code on 
the next
line decrements the position without checking to see if it's already 
zero.  I think
there is a similar problem with the forward button.

The above are not complaints ... I like the app and miss having the 
Websters
app on my old NeXTstep system.
