The online Webster's dictionary is located in the sipb filesystem.  To
use it, first add the sipb locker by typing the following at the athena%
prompt:

	add sipb

Then, to lookup a specific word, enter a command of the form:

	webster word-to-look-up

To go into interactive mode and look up several words, one at a time,
you could type just:

	webster

There is also a program called "xwebster" with an X interface.  To use it,
type:

	xwebster &

Click the left mouse button on the xwebster icon for instructions.

To see the manual page for either of these programs, after you have added
the sipb locker, type:

	man   webster
	man  xwebster

Finally, the MIT Libraries are providing access to the web-based
Encyclopedia Britannica site, which includes a Webster's Dictionary.  To
