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
