Version 1.1 of Shuck added an AppleEvent [misc/mvis] to look up words in 
the index. To access this event from AppleScript, just write e.g.

			        tell application "Shuck" to Show "$ARGV"

The current release of MacPerl (5.1.3r2) comes with version 1.0 of Shuck. 
Version 1.1 of Shuck is available at:

    ftp://err.ethz.ch//pub/neeri/MacPerl/Shuck_11.sit.bin

I have also put version 1.1 of Shuck at

   ftp://members.aol.com/bradh5/Shuck_11.sit

I have written a BBEdit extension that can be used to lookup words in 
Shuck 1.1 from BBEdit. This extension is at
