Dojqu'! I've got just the WordPerfect dictionary, which needs another
proof-reading; that's enough of a pain!

Yes, exactly. This is my biggest concern with using WordPerfect. I
began the project with an old copy of dBase III, but that got to be too
inflexible for me. Perhaps a more modern database would remove my
objections to doing it that way, but I worked with what I had, and
decided that using the word processor was easier.

I have some comments regarding the web page for you, if I can find the
piece of paper I wrote them down on. A couple were the result of my
talk with Okrand, others were observations and a typo I noticed.
