Hello Anthony,

OK, never tried that!

AH&gt; PageStream comes supplied with the American English dictionary as

Agree.

AH&gt; Deron was suggesting that when you buy (and download) PageStream, that
AH&gt; you can tick boxes which would include other dictionary files to the
AH&gt; archive automatically.

Well ..... that would be very nice, but the current situation is completely
reasonable, I think.

Agree.

Agree. Last one.
