  Also, I have the following "URL" configured as a link on my Mozilla
"Personal Toolbar".  It should work in just about any JavaScript-enabled
browser.  Watch out for line-wrapping.

javascript:void(q=prompt('Expand:',''));if(q)void(location.replace('http://www.acronymfinder.com/af-query.asp?String=exact&Acronym='+escape(q)));

  The above technique is often called a "bookmarklet" or "favlet".  A Google
search on those terms can be quite rewarding.

  YMMV.  HTH.  HAND.  ;-)
