RE: Linking acronym to a glossary entry

Mainly because my acronyms aren't 'proper'
in that at least one is a space seperated
two words.

The other problem, since resolved, is 
what to do when a word isn't in the glossary.
The author needs to know that and enter
into the glossary. Case insensitivity would
help also. Unresolved as yet.

How would key help here?

key is missing from XT isn't it?
