hi,
i'd like to see a feature where you can select a word and it gets automatically copied to the clipboard.
this way one can use almost all palm dictionaries much easier, because you just need to call them and paste the selected word into them.
even better would be a support of the method used by my prefered dictionary Mi:D (here) (http://www.pdathaipalm.co.th/download/mid231.zip). it has a quite interesting mode: in datebook you can select a word which must be in an editable filed (for instance the name field) and after selecting it, Mi:D pops up instantly with the selected word translated.
no idea how they do it, they seem to use some kind of internal Palm OS function. maybe it's an easy hack for isilo to do the same. it would give us a functionality similar to the dictionary implementation in Palmreader Pro..
regards,
