Words.prg/exe is just a very basic dbf handling program.
With display text resizing, mouse, copy and paste.

It contains 159,949 U.S. words.
I use it quite often.

Two are files needed in order for it to work.
Download Words.exe and words.dbf

The interesting thing is that it uses the screen @ x,y coordinates to 
figure out which word the user picked from the CRT display.
It does not use any array.

In this case, it is up to 17 rows and up to 3 columns. 
Up to 51 choices per screen.

I have never seen or heard of that being done before.
I hope I don't lead a very sheltered life. But, anyway,
I would give that a ******(6) out of 5 stars/asterisks.

That part could become a new procedure or function BigChoice().
Maybe, even a hb_BigChoice.
A drawback, it doesn’t scroll. But, it can do many, many pages
with a "back" option.
If someone wants to do that, that would be really cool and, I’d like a copy 
of it.
