I too read about the RH Thesarus and was impressed by the description.
There are other useful programs such as spelling checkers that interface
to Wordstar in a similar way.

Let's suppose I prefer Mince over Wordstar and would like to interface
it to the Thesarus.  This is reasonable considering that I (like all
Amethyst users) have the C sources to the outer (command interpreter)
portion of Mince.  Is there a specification for how such external
packages get loaded (e.g. as overlays) and how they interact with the
text buffer and screen?  Is it useful enough to form a general purpose
standard for editors in the CP/M environment?
