   They don't seem to be working as short-codes/substitutions as the file     
   suggests.   
      
   Maybe they *are* just shorthand text for general use?   
      
   But it would be very nice for example to just put >s+< in the body of the     
   text have it autofill into:   
      
           -------- [Snip] ---------   
      
      
   The first two paragraphs in the glossary.cfg file intrigue me, they seem     
   to imply that we can control the visibility of text with the ">" and "<"     
   chars.  That is, create an auto-snip for large parts of text.
