FWIW, I've been using the following in my ~/.emacs file:
; An interface to dict(1)
(defun mct-dict-lookup ()
"Lookup a word in the dictionary"
(interactive)
(shell-command
(concat "dict "
(read-from-minibuffer
"Dictionary: "
(thing-at-point 'word)))))
(global-set-key "\C-c\C-d" 'mct-dict-lookup)
...but perhaps the dict.el does something more useful.
-mct
