Heya Mat,

So I tried to fix this myself;


>> parse copy/part find tmp/content "Etymology:" 256 [thru "Etymology:" copy DictEnty 
to "<br>"]
== false

The above line should limit the parsing to a 256 character length
string starting from exactly where we were going to 'thru' to anyhow.
It *still* doesn't work.

I mean look for yourself!

>> print copy/part find tmp/content "Etymology:" 256

There's the Etymology: and there's the goddamn <br>! Why the hell
doesn't it work?! Argh!
