Thanks, Jose!  That is the one I needed.

It is interesting that the "about" window of the applet and the
application both display nothing other than "Dictionary 2.14.0"; but
this is explained in the "help" window:  the applet is a sub-set of
the dictionary application.  

I forgot to check "help".
