=head1 EMACS BINDING
Emacs is a great place to bind all sorts things together and this is
no exception. Add this to your .emacs file to create the function
DEFINE-WORD. If you don't give it a word then it will attempt to
define whatever word is currently under your point.
(defun define-word (input-word)
"Define a word using http://dict.org."
(interactive "MWord to define: ")
(let ((buf (generate-new-buffer "*dict*"))
(word (if (> (length input-word) 0)
input-word
(current-word))))
(shell-command (concat "~/bin/dict " word) buf)
buf))
The following command binds C-x d to the function.
(global-set-key "\C-xd" 'define-word)
