When I used Gosling Emacs I created glossaries with the put-database-entry and fetch-database-entry primitives of Mock Lisp. These in turn called the dbm(3) routines. I notice that there doesn't seem to be any corresponding routines in GNU-Emacs for this. Has anyone done anything in GNU-Lisp to provide equivalent functions? I also wonder if anyone has written anything like describe-word-in-buffer, which in Gosmacs could be used to print a single line in the minibuffer giving e.g. function argument types for the function name at "point" (where the cursor is).
