A few more tips:
1. Get used to indenting your code now - it will help later on.
2. Learn what the # symbol does. You are using it incorrectly.
3. Use Arrays and Data statements:
Restore NumDefs: Rem Set the read data pointer to the first data item
Read NumWords: Rem Number of words and definitions to read in
Dim Words$(NumWords): Rem Allocate array space for words...
Dim Definitions$(NumWords): Rem ... and definitions.
For N=1 To NumWords
Read Words$(N)
Read Definitions$(N)
Next N
Do
INPUT "Type in word: ";a$
print "Searching for definition..."
rem search for defenitions
FoundWord = 0
For N=1 To NumWords
If Upper$(A$) = Upper$(Words$(N))
Print Definitions$(N): Print
FoundWord = 1
Endif
Next N
If FoundWord = 0 Then Print "No definition found!": Print
Loop
NumDefs:
Rem Number of words in total (alter this value when new words are added)...
