Dear Carl
OED2.DAT is already in the root of D:\. I have tried moving it to C:\
but it makes no difference. There is still as stray GoXY window that
needs to be shut. This is not really an issue, just the perfectionist
in me showing itself. Having the lookup working again is a great boon
and I will be content with that.

Paul:
I don't know if you can help as this concerns Robert's OED lookup
routine, but I have a (very) small issue. If I use a keyboard
shortcut to lookup a word (after placing the cursor on the word)
and OED has not been started, the OED routine does, indeed, start
the program but it does not insert the word and instead leaves a
stray "GoXY" dos window open.
I'm taking a stab in the dark, but you might try this: In your OED
program folder, locate the file OED2.DAT and copy it to the root
directory of C:. Any other valid drive should work, too, but C: will be
fastest because it's searched first. The key is to locate OED2.DAT in a
*root* directory.
