TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
In my spare time at home, I frequently refer to the language
reference for a well-known PC communications program. The
commands are in one section, the set statements in another, etc.
Although everything I need to know is there, the alphabetized stuff
is not indexed, and not always where I expect to find in. Annoys the
heck out of me. Just 'cause it's alphabetical (in the glossary or
anywhere else) doesn't mean it shouldn't be in the index too!
