I need to know how to do a symbolic reference in VI and NROFF. (i.e. I want to be able to define a table of symbolic strings and their expanded names or string. Then I want to only type the symbolics in the text and have the system input the expanded names when I run off the text.) Any helpful hints would be appreciated.
