No sir, thats not what I meant. I guess what I have in mind is outside
the charter of Qamoos. I was thinking of linking Qamoos & dictd. I make
a change in Qamoos (approve/edit) a new term and it takes effect the
next time dictd is reloaded. If I get 3 new terms for approval, I do what
I should do under Qamoos and I do 3 different cvs for 3 words if they have
different starting letters.

Sorry, the price of sending a message late at night I guess. There is no 
relation between bad_words & Qamoos. What I meant to say, at the moment, I 
have bad_words & new_words to deal with. Shortly, bad_words & new_words will 
disappear and I will wind up with maintaining terms (Correct a def, add a 
word or 2). It would be nice if I can correct a def or add a word or 2 using 
Qamoos and not have to cvs.
