# Introduction

`GDict` provides dictionary definitions of words, using any server that supports the dict protocol, an Internet standard for client/server dictionary applications.

To run `GDict`, select GDict from the Utilities submenu of the Main Menu, or type gdict -a on the command line.

`GDict` can also be started via a panel applet. To add this applet to a Panel, right-click on the panel and choose Applets->Utility->GDict, or type gdict on the command line.

`GDict` is included in the `gnome-utils` package, which is part of the GNOME desktop environment. This document describes version 1.4 of `GDict`.
