Much appreciated,

Pending updates to the dictionary, I have a plugin available that lets you
add your own notes to dictionary entries and also tag them with keywords of
your choice. Unfortunately, the details are local to your computer and not
available to other users.

Thanks Peter, I have updated the bug report to ask the question as you
suggested.
With respect, unless revdb is an lc script, it's highly unlikely I would
have the skills to change it.

In my opinion, it was to give it a chance to grow, by incorporating other
open tech, and also to just KEEP UP with the ever changing tech world
without consuming the inadequate resources of the mother ship.

You're right. It was also it increase the user base, which it did
considerably, so that LC would become better known and accepted
generally. As you say, the move to open source was also meant to allow
others to contribute to the engine so that fixes and new features would
be incorporated more q

I am surprised that anyone would expect a lot of coding help to rise out of
the LC community. Sure there are a few who have experience in the lower
level languages, but my sole reason in choosing LC was for the English-like
syntax. I don't know, nor do I want to learn C or Objective C or anything
