tsu thank you again for that link, but when I used it inputting the word "button" I got http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/refpages/search.aspx?q=button...which tells one everything he cold possibly want to know about the button except a synonym

dahil, I don't know how you got there (Bill Gates assisted?), but you're at an encyclopedia page. I got this for button. - joe bfstplk edit: I rescind that statement; I *do know how you got there — there are two search boxes on the page, the one at the top is for Encarta (encyclopedia), the one in the purple area is for the Thesaurus.

tsu thank you once more, if there's a wrong way to do something I will find it
edit: When I go to the Encarta link, I can't find a purple area, but when I go to the last link you provided I only get this error message: Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
It's interesting to note, incidentally, this error message recently has come up repeatedly at other sites in other applications. Bill Gates must hate humanity or at least that fraction of humanity not blessed with dogged patience
second edit: But when I tried that link a second time I got the thesaurus, no doubt much to the chagrin of Bill Gates who must have let down his guard at just the wrong moment, but not until I got it safely ensconced amongst my Faves. Thank you again for your help, tact, and patience

Interesting about that thesaurus: "peasant" does not come up as a synonym for farmer, but if you put in "peasant", "farmer" is among the synonyms.. Probably something to do with social rank..

Yes, could be. The farmer being the owner, the peasants the laborers.
