I guess my usage of the term "dictionary" confuses the issue a bit. I am not
looking to integrate a dictionary for looking up words. I am trying to
supplement the leim kana-to-kanji conversion table that comes with
Linux. The basic file that is (apparently) used for this is called ja-dic.elc,
which is why I used the term "dictionary." I would assume that there must be
a concomitant ja-dic.el, but it is not available locally, and it is not
clear whether that which is listed on ftp sites is designed to be editable
in such a manner. This seems to be an area that is under-documented (at
least in English) as compared with other components of Emacs.
