Reading on the screen is very conducive to making helps immediately,
instantaneously available without having to have a "pony". Simply take
some time to set up your window/tool/text arrangement with some
forethought. I've tweaked my arrangement over and over again and have
it just the way I like it.
Also, in Accordance at least, you need only hover the mouse pointer
over the word and the lexical info including gloss and parsing appears
in the instant details box. This kind of instant access can keep
vocabulary, especially those rare words (and those blimey 2nd aorist
passives) from being any hindrance at all to reading with some fluency.
Cheers,
Joe Weaks
