Look for the Flashing Messages
When you enter a word or scroll
down a word list, often messages
such as THES, CLAS, or CONF will
flash at the upper right of the
screen. These messages show that
the word has thesaurus information,
Classmates, or Confusables. A
word can have more than one
message, so watch closely.
