Macro to search Dictionary.com

J

J44xm

I'm looking for a macro that would take the selected word (or if there is
no selection, then the word at the cursor) and search for it at
Dictionary.com. Dictionary.com uses this basic URL template:
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=8&q=_____ (for example,
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=8&q=microsoft). So all the macro
would need to do is plug in the selected/at-the-cursor word into this URL,
then launch it. How can I do this? Thank you much. (Once I get this one,
it will be child's play for me to make a similar macro for Thesaurus.com.)
