10.4: Use double-click lookups in Dictionary

Tiger only hintI was playing around with the new Dictionary application, and discovered that if you double click on a word (any word in the Dictionary window), the application will look up that word and return its definition. The back button will take you back to the prior definition.

[robg adds: A friend was amazed I didn't know this one -- apparently it's a fairly standard trick of electronic dictionaries. I guess I haven't used them all that often in the past, probably becuz my speling is allready excelent.]
