+@entry{glotex, \GloTeX} The \GloTeX\ program is a tool used to collect and
+format a glossary for inclusion in a \LaTeX\ document. It uses \verb+\glossary+
+commands in the \LaTeX\ source file to determine which words or phrases should
+be included in the Glossary, and one or more Glossary Definition Files which
+contain the definitions of the terms.
+
+@entry{gdf, Glossary\\Definition\\File} A Glossary Definition File is represents
+a database of definitions. Each entry in a Glossary Definition File contains
+a {\em label}, an {\em item}, and a {\em definition}.
+
+@entry{label} A {\em label\/} is an identifier which is associated with
+a particular definition. Labels are specified in \verb+\glossary+ commands to
+indicate which definitions should be included in the Glossary.
+
+@entry{item} An {\em item\/} is the word or term to be defined in the
+glossary.
+
+@entry{definition} The {\em definition\/} is the text used to
+indicate what a particular item means. A definition may be as short as a
+phrase, or as long as a dissertation. However, short definitions (a sentence
+or two) are usually most effective in the context of a Glossary.
+
+@entry{glo-file, {\tt glo} File} The {\tt .glo} file is produced by \LaTeX\ and
+contains a list of labels for terms to be included in the Glossary. It is one
+of the inputs to \GloTeX.
+
+@entry{gdf-file, {\tt gdf} File} The {\tt .gdf} file is the Glossary Definition
+File.
+
+@entry{gls-file, {\tt gls} File} The {\tt .gls} file is the output of \GloTeX.
+It is the file which should be \verb+\input+ in the document to generate the
+Glossary.
+
+@entry{glg-file, {\tt glg} File} The {\tt .glg} file is a Glossary Log File. It
+lists those labels for which no definition was found. This file is only
+generated if needed.
