it's the Shorthand Glossaries feature... essentially, you type something semi-cryptic, and it automatically expands out to something bigger. for instance, i have a glossary of Apple product models. if i type 'g4p' it expands to 'PowerMac G4 (PCI)' if i type 'pbg4' it expands to 'PowerBook G4' etc. unfortunately, C&G has stated fairly bluntly that Glossaries have no future in SpellCatcher for OS X. :( They said they might do Glossaries in a stand-alone product, but added that saying so was pure speculation. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
