Can anyone recommend a good system for looking up the
dictionary definition of a word at point?  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.
