Episode 10 (Attack on the Homestead).
The freeware program, DimSum, is now available from
Erik Peterson. Once you install it and get it running you can use it to view Episode 10 (which still does not have automatic
look-up). You will need to access "settings" in DimSum, and then when that screen came up in Internet Explorer you will need to hit
"save settings" before you can go back to DimSum and get it to operate correctly to view websites. Having completed those steps, just type or paste
http://www.wfu.edu/~moran/tdzhsh.html in the appropriate window in DimSum,and you should be able to see pop-up definitions.
DimSum has provision for making either pop-up definitions or making definitions appear at the bottom of the screen, so you may need
to set that choice correctly. Currently many compounds are missing from the definition used by DimSum, but it still should be helpful
in viewing this story. Actually, you can even use it on earlier episodes and have both my definitions and DimSum definitions available.
