[OS X TeX] Entering specially formatted items in the index

Well, you could make your own showidx-like thing, using \marginpar's  
and such.  Won't be as sophisticated or robust as shoidx, but might  
just be enough for your needs.  As first draft, I'd try:

	\newcommand\Index[1]{\marginpar{\fbox{#1}}\index{#1}\ignorespaces}

Of course, if you have too many calls to this in a short space, it'll  
get messy...
