dict ports suggestion

[h]

some words have so big descriptions from several dictionnaries, plus a couple 
xtermful of thesaurus synonyms, the xterm scrollbar runs out. and the most 
relevant definitions are always at the beginning.

in the meantime how can i alias dict * to dict|more * (not using another 
command as dict)?
