Question by Peggy: What can one do with the (stand alone) pond in the Sage Dictionary thesaurus software program?
When you open the Sage Dictionary, to the right is a small pond that is given as a gift. It does cute little things, it is so small and it vanishes once you type in a word. I would like to make it bigger or just keep it on the screen. I would also like to take it to documents as I type to create atmosphere.

It is best to think of TheSage as two different systems: a knowledge database and a multi-tool interface. The knowledge database consists of a tightly integrated English dictionary and thesaurus.
The dictionary comprises:
* Multiple detailed definitions (+210,000).
* Examples of usage (+50,000).
* Phonetic transcriptions (+70,000).
* Encyclopedic information (geographical, historical, political,…).
* Academic knowledge (medicine, biology,…).
The thesaurus encompasses:
* Synonyms, antonyms, hypernyms, hyponyms, meronyms, holonyms,…
* Approximately 1,400,000 relationships between definitions.
The interface allows the user to extract of information from the knowledge database in a variety of ways. This is accomplished by means of the following tools:
* Lookup tool (section 4.1 in the docs) – To look up a word or words in TheSage’s Dictionary, type it (or them) and then click on ‘LookUp’. Alternatively, type the word(s) and then simply press ENTER.
