Note that you'll need to keep the TrueCrypt program running while using
the archive file. However, you can close the program window, which will
leave TrueCrypt running in the Dock. It's also possible to configure
TrueCrypt to quit without unmounting the archive: on the menu, click
TrueCrypt→Preferences, ensure the Security tab is selected, and remove
the check from the TrueCrypt Quits box.

Once you've finished using the filestore, you can simply unmount it in
the usual way: open Finder, and click the Eject icon next to the filestore's
entry in the devices list. Alternatively, start TrueCrypt again, select the
archive's entry in the list, and click the Dismount button.
When the filestore is mounted, a useful tip is to click Favorites→Add Selected
Volume to Favorites. From then on, you can quickly mount the filestore by
selecting its entry on the Favorites menu when you start TrueCrypt. You
should also be able to right-click the TrueCrypt icon in the Dock when the
program is running and click the entry there to automatically mount it.

Look Up Words Instantly
One of my favorite features of my Mac is the Dictionary application, which,
just like its dusty, shelf-bound companions, allows you to look up the defini-
tions of words.
However, there's no need to go to the trouble of actually starting the app to
look up definitions. It can be called from within other applications in various
ways.
Using Spotlight
Typing a word or short phrase into Spotlight will return a definition, for
example, although it will appear beneath all the files and folders that match
the search term, alongside a Look Up heading.
If you then hover the mouse cursor over this entry, a pop-out window will
appear showing the definition. Double-click the pop-out window to open the
Dictionary app showing the word.
