 I saw an interesting book at the library today about
something called PICK
OS. I didn't get to look through the entire book, but I read enough to see
that it refers to directories as dictionaries. It seems to take a novel
approach, but I know nothing about it. Haven't even heard of it. Does
anyone here know more? Does anyone here have the PC version (mentioned in
the book)?

I have never played with PICK, but I have played with Prime "Information"
which is sometimes described as a PICK like operating system. I have a PC
version somewhere but in that form it is not a true OS. It is started as a
DOS application.

As someone else has said, not much use except for multi-user database
applications. The PC version is only a toy.
