I haven't had a problem with slow lookup. However, I have an issue with Supermemo's search results coming out with the least-commonly used word first. So when I just want to look up, for instance, "se," I have to click through a bajillion entries which include those letters to get to it. Also, the best dictionary program would have every word as a clickable link to go to the entry for that word. I've used English dictionaries for Palm OS that would do that. Even more importantly, I was hoping against hope that it would include lujvo. -Matt lojban-beginners@chain.digitalkingdom.org wrote: >On Thu, Feb 17, 2005 at 02:59:21PM -0800, Theodore Reed wrote: >> On Thu, 2005-02-17 at 14:41 -0800, Robin Lee Powell wrote: >> >On PalmOS, you can use SuperMemo as both a memorization program >> >and a word lookup program. >> >> But this is *horribly* slow on most palm models.
