Well, this is basically why I designed it. I do this operation
everyday, I even made a DashBoard script for it.

Well, I should admit that this use is the only one which ensures not
to generate an error.
Anyway, it's not like native betas, DictMgr won't damage anything.

Well, I suggest alt.rec...., even if it is a beta. Latest version is
pretty stable if it works on your MP, i.e. if it does not freeze
after the third word.
(yes, it is a known bug, and yes, I will try to fix it this month.)
