Because both the Glossary and the Master Help Index user objects are simply Mindex class software objects, the manner in which you add entries to the Glossary is identical to the manner in which you add entries to the Master Help Index (see Adding Entries to the Master Help Index at Installation). However, if you check the default Settings Notebook for the Glossary user object, you will notice that the Glossary installed with the OS/2 operating has a default "Files/Environment name(s)" that is not set to the "HELP" environment variable. Rather, it is set to the "GLOSSARY" environment variable. Therefore, you can update the value of this variable in CONFIG.SYS to reflect the location of your .HLP files that contain global tagged index entries. Alternatively, you can simply copy your .HLP files to the path defined by the GLOBAL environment variable. The default value is:

GLOSSARY=C:\OS2\HELP\GLOSS;
