Yes (Ctrl-Z under DOS, but the idea is the same). It can also take input from a filename that you pass on the command line. As xod pointed out, there's an online interactive version; if you have a browser open to it, you could simply paste the sentence from the email into the fish and "ko danre". (This is what I do all the time.) The command-line version is a bit stark to use, but it should only be a Small Matter of Programming to rig up something that, say, lives in the system tray and will translate text you select with the mouse by passing it to jbofi'e and capturing the output. Or a graphical frontend with an input and output window similar to the on-line version (perhaps even with an HTML renderer so you see the colorised version rather than the plain-text output). But someone'd have to do that first. mu'omi'e filip. [email copies appreciated] -- Philip Newton All opinions are my own, not my employer's.
