Okey I will copy Thotman-E.PIV to my home dir to play around with. Now I
will put my pointer in the thext and go to Tools/Index to build

Now I will mark the word "to" and go insert Index_mark around and the
Descriptors window pops up with my "to" word as reference. I will do this
for some words "and" "it" "other" "as" through "Index_mark around" and
then "create reference element" "text" and they will a be in the
Descriptors window.

I will now take the word "and" again and do "Index_mark around" Show
referenced element" and then point in the Descriptors window on the "and"
word there. The hand will now disappear and I think my second index of
"and" is created. I will now do that for some word.

Now we will go "Tools/Index to build" a window will popup I accept the
defaults and press confirm. Nothing happends. I will open the Index view
and it is empty.
