I'm just wondering two things. Is command-clickng on a hilited word
an OS thing, or does each application implement this feature
independently? If it's an OS thing, it might not be not very hard to
implement. In that case why doesn't LC do it? I.e., not just
spell-check but all those other cute tricks -- look up on google,
look up in the dictionary, cut, copy, etc?

It's an OS X Service and apps can hook into it if they want. I suspect LiveCode doesn't do it because of its cross-platform nature. None of the other operating systems have it and branching the engine code to support a single OS is probably a lot of work. It wouldn't make our jobs any easier either, since only apps built for Macs would work with it.
