Comment of Look It Up v2

	EXCELLENT! Very useful...

Hi, need help with this 'Look It Up v2' user script.

I've installed it, made sure that the user script is enabled in the IE7pro settings, exited and restarted IE, then what?? I highlight a word and nothing happens. I highlight and copy the text to clipboard and nothing.

How do I use it and how do I customize it so that I can include www.imdb.com. Any help on the use of this script is much appreciated.

thank you

	Click on the IE7Pro Icon. Click on "User Script Commands". Click "Lookitup Settings". This will bring up the configuration screen. Press Esc to exit. To use, highlight word and then press the key defined in the configuration screen. It was a little confusing to me as well.
