I've modified the oed script a bit, so that it can give a pronunciation
key.  See the usage message generated by 'add outland; oed' for more
details.  Thanks to jhawk for pointing me at the OED's online version of
its pronunciation guide.

Also, a couple of people pointed out that 'oed apos*' will not work in
some circumstances.  It may be necessary to protect the asterix from the
shell by quoting it.  E.g. 'oed "apos*"' should work in most
environments.

Alex.
