I have a list of 888 words that I want to look up in an online dictionary. What program can I use to avoid copying constantly from OOo to the dictionary applet in GNOME and back?

install dictd if you do not already have it.
you can then use dict <some word to check>

you can then get tricky with a for loop in bash against a flat text file with your word list and then pipe the results of dict to another file with all the results in it.
