Another way to work with Includes is with shell glossaries that contain only Includes and otherwise no Word or Phrase entries. For example, we first create an empty shell glossary with the New menu item in the Glossary Menu and name it Lee.glo. Then we can add Includes to produce:
[Glossary Lee]
[include C:\InstText\Glossary\Dr Lee.glo]
[include C:\InstText\Glossary\Cardiology.glo]
[include C:\InstText\Glossary\Medical Base.glo]
[include C:\InstText\Glossary\Address.glo]
[include C:\InstText\Glossary\Drug List.glo]We now have two different glossaries for Lee: the compiled glossary Dr Lee.glo and the shell glossary Lee.glo which contains nothing else than Includes. Of course, this idea can be combined with that of Includes within Includes and this produces:
[Glossary Lee]
[include C:\InstText\Glossary\Dr Lee.glo]
[include C:\InstText\Glossary\Cardiology.glo]
[include C:\InstText\Glossary\Full Base.glo]Whether you use shell glossaries or the direct approach of Scenario Specialties à la carte is a matter of personal preference. Those who use shell glossaries very often do it because they like the symmetrical way of handling all glossaries.
