This is an example of a poor choice of words by the original OpenXP  
developers. In no way can it be described as a glossary, perhaps  
"library" would have been the better choice because it's a collection  
of snippets which can be quickly imported into a message.

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 :-))

Martin
