The Texbook says: The \write command is somewhht special, because its token list is first read without expansion; expansion occurs later, when the tokens are actually being written to a file. As \index writes to a file, this may be the problem! I'll see if I can do

FWIW I hate index entries that redirect me. There may be an occasional justified use (redirect me to a concept with many sub-entries) but most redirect me to another entry to give me a page or two. Surely this is archaic? i -- Original Message -- Received: 10:10 AM COT, 08/21/2009 From:

LaTeX has "see" for an index entry, but docbook has "see" and "see also". Any suggestions on how to get LyX or LaTeX to support a "see also" style index entry? I believe that \seename can be redefined, but I may want both. Something like: \index{BSD|seealso{Berkeley Unix}}
