+3 files: dichty-term-info.js ncbo-term-info.js term-completer.js
+one sub directory: ajax-lib
+
+ajax-lib is open source ajax code from scriptaculous that the above files use.
+in theory these shouldnt need to be modified (though ive had my temptations)
+
+The 3 scripts are all for term info retrieval from the backend. They should 
+probably be merged & deleted. The main variant is the back url to get term info
+from and that url should come from the top page where all mod specific stuff is set,
+rather than here. Once that is done should be able to merge. 
+
+These scripts are called with onMouseOver that is in the completion list that is
+returned by the server for autocompletion.
+
+dichty-term-info.js might be old and if so should be deleted? sohel?
+
+term_completer.js is the new dichty base script (or old??).
+
+ncbo-term-info.js 
+-----------------
+is used for zfin/ncbo. There are some difference to dichty here.
+The method is called getTermInfo which is a clearer name then set_ontology or 
+set_ontology_term. The url is different and as said above should be set in 
+the top mod specific page not here. 
+
+OntologyName & field are passed as
+parameters. Ontology name is needed for cases where theres an ontology chooser
+(zfin entity - dichty can ignore this). field is needed so the Use Term button
+of TermInfo knows which field to update (its the field the original term came from).
+
+In the top level html (ncbo.html) the form with the terms is given the name 
+termForm and that is used instead of forms[0] which can be presumptious if plugging
+into a mods web page.
+
+The checking of the length of the ontologyid array was scrapped as it was unnecasary.
+
+So these scripts should be merged, and I think the ncbo changes should be incorporated.
+Would you agree sohel?
