I found a dict.el on EmacsWiki and it more or less works, but I found after looking up a few words that it had left a trail of over a thousand buffers open -- and I'm not sure how to debug it. It also gives me results from, eg., English to Arabic dictionaries. I am thinking, there is probably a more convenient solution, and someone here is liable to know what it is.
