The last message I have sent is ambigious.  What I am looking for is somethind
like if I typed in a word, the computer will give me the meaning of the word.
Is there a program like this?

There is a package called JORJ available on SIMTEL in its MSDOS TXTUTL
directory in files JORJ41-A.ZIP and JORJ41-B.ZIP; it's probably
shareware, so it may be available elsewhere, too.

Hope this helps.
