I transferred this file to my Treo and can open it in Mobipocket 5.3. Search link within the file works great.

But just a heads up to other PalmOS users - when I set this as my dictionary in Mobipocket, my Treo 755 consistently does a soft reset if I try to lookup a word by highlighting it while reading some other text. Not sure what the problem is - might be in Mobipocket and not this file at all, but the combination isn't working for lookups from other documents, at least for me. YMMV.

Oh, works fine in the Desktop Mobipocket Reader (v6.2, Windows XP). I can lookup words while reading another text just fine there.
