That's it, of course.  Thanks Glenn.  Looks interesting.

What a talented group!

Sounds like you are referring to my freeware WordsEx.exe (or WordSex).

This is the 80 character description: Internet text browser. Query 24 search 
engines. Search in texts. Smooth scroll.

This is the 250 character description: Words,Extended is an Internet text 
information retrieval, extraction and display program. Query 24 search engines 
and fetch hit pages. Search within held texts. Arrow keys do smooth scrolling, 
or hide window. Make annotated citations.

This is the 450 character description: Words,Extended is an Internet text 
information retrieval, extraction and display program. Type or right-click on a 
word to search the Web, querying 24 search engines. Type or Click on a word to 
search within all held texts. Click in Word search results to begin reading text 
right at the found word. The arrow keys control smooth scrolling, or hide 
window. Drag over text to make word-wrapped citations annotated with URL and 
title.

...

You (Windows 2000, XP, or Vista users) can try out WordsEx.exe immediately by 
clicking this link and running it; But it would be better if you download and 
save this executable file (3 Mb) on your desktop and then create a Windows 
shortcut to it, to be able to re-activate the window whenever it is minimized, 
as I describe in the Help text. (Note: I suggested an easy right-hand hotkey 
combination of Ctrl+Alt+Period, but I find my laptop will accept, but not act on 
Ctrl+Alt+Period as a hot key. If your computer acts like that, then pick another 
letter, like Ctrl+Alt+L.) Here is WordsEx.exe:

  Glenn Scheper knows!

By replacing the default list of 24 search engines with an engines.txt file
containing these few lines, it can be used to query the waste archives:

GET 101 http://www.waste.org/mail/?list=pynchon-l&keywords=
  more url has anchortext NUMBER
  good url has next TOKEN "bytes)"
  study
  keep
