[OS X TeX] Dictionary / Lexicon

[Marcus Michalsky]

I think this is not what I need. It produces an "index" at the end of  
the file ?

I want an output like in a dictionary. word and explanation  
alphabetically sorted.

the Documentation of glossary is VERY short in the companion.

ctan only has some PDFs where i have to compile a package, run shell  
scripts, perl etc.

LaTeX  (teTeX) knows the \makeglossary and produces a .glo file. And  
it writes things from \glossary{,,,} in it. But \printglossary or  
sth. doesn't function.

P.S. I've read something in combination with babel...

any Ideas ? thx.
