John, you're just going to get John Baxter going again about the limitations of the dictionary format.

Frankly, the limitations of the format DO stop developers from producing a dictionary such as you describe. That's why you haven't seen a good one.

In theory, AppleScript 2 will use an XML format for the dictionary and that will *finally* allow people to produce decent dictionaries.

Until then, you have to suffer like the rest of us.
