Re: Atthakatha Lookup

Dear Noah,

Thanks very much for the improvements on searching PTS pages. I've been using
the Atthakatha search and it works very well.

The DPR is a great tool - thanks very much for making it available to the
Buddhist/Pāli world!

Metta, Bryan

Dear Bryan,

I've updated the DPR to make the page reference search a little more
friendly; same method but a more correct output (and now the help page
explains how to conduct the search).  Also, I've changed it so that the
"K" becomes a "KN", making it clear it is the Khuddaka, and instead of K
1, K 2, etc.  It will now say K KhP, K Dhp, etc.  I'm not sure where I
originally got my abbreviations from , probably the PED, mostly.  I
haven't made a list of them, mostly it's the Khuddaka, and they should
all be fairly self explanatory.  As for dictionary abbreviations, they
are original to the individual texts.

Best wishes,

Yuttadhammo
