+# w3mdict.cgi - A dictd dictionary query cgi for w3m
+#
+# REQUIREMENTS:
+# + dict client software
+# + an address of a dict server, for variable ${DICT_SERVER}
+# + a name of a favorite database on that server, for variable
+#   ${FAVORITE_DATABASE}
+# OPTIONALLY:
+# + locally install a dict server (eg. dictd) and a collection
+#   of dict databases (eg. wordnet, aka "wn")
+
+DICT_SERVER="localhost"
+FAVORITE_DATABASE="wn"
+RETURN_MESSAGE="\n\nPress 'B' to return to the previous page."

+# First, we check only our best and favorite database. This is most
+# likely to give us a best defintion, and avoids displaying a long and
+# cluttered page with entries from many databases.
