What are we supposed to make use of out of the glossary.cfg?
It seems to contain short-codes that we can use and >OXP< makes substitutions at some point?

Yes, that's exactly what it is but it's something I never use these
days. However, since you've brought the matter up, I can think of a
number of uses to which it could be put, notably, "canned" responses
to questions :-))

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.
Read the second paragraph of "glossary.cfg" again :)
However, what it doesn't say is how to actually use the glossary
function.
Place the cursor at the start of a *blank line* in your message and
press <Alt-G>. Cursor down the list to ">s+<" and press <Enter> and
see what happens.
OMG! The Alt-G was the revelation.
This feature is SO badly worded in the glossary.cfg.

Improved in the next release.
