color:blue'>My colleague, a retired linguistic missionary (to Sudan)
who is in the process of producing a Toolbox dictionary, had been
advised several years ago to put "idiom" in the \ps Range
Set, and she has several hundred idioms in her database.  The
hierarchy is \lx (lexeme)>\se (subentry)>ps (part of speech)>\sn
(sense number).  The positioning of "idiom" under
\ps creates a problem when we try to print the dictionary.  Each
idiom, like any new subentry, starts on a new line. The items under \sn do
not start on new lines, which looks better and saves space. For the
purpose of printing, then, it might be better if "idiom" (like
other items such as \de [definitions] or \sy [synonyms]) were under \sn. 
However, I'm not sure how we can do this using the standard MDF
categories.  Any advice?</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
