Sounds like maybe the Dictionary file itself is corrupted, do you have a 
backup? If not try changing the name of the file to something else and 
changing it to TXT file for safe keeping then create a new Dictionary 
file and see if you can access it. If you can then the problem isn't 
GS/OS but the Dictionary file itself. I am assuming this is your custom 
dictionary and not the standard one that comes with AWGS. If it's the 
standard Dictionary file trying reloading it fresh from the orignal disks. 
Hope this helps
