     The package 'wordnet' tries to locate a valid WordNet installation
     on start up by investigating the 'WNHOME' environment variable and
     by trying default installation locations. On success it acquires a
     pointer to the actual WordNet dictionary and stores internally a
     reference to the dictionary instance. 'getDict' returns this
     default reference.
