Abbreviations

[David Arnold]

All,

I couln't get nonused abbreviations to show up in a list of abbreviations.
I tried the following with no success:

\setupsynonyms
 [abbreviations]
 [state=start,criterium=all]

\definesynonyms[abbreviation][abbreviations][\infull]
\abbreviation {UN} {United Nations}
\abbreviation {UK} {United Kingdom}
\abbreviation {USA} {United States of America}

\starttext
\infull{USA}
\completelistofabbreviations
\stoptext

\define... initializes, \setup extends/sets. So, first define, then set up.
BTW, abbreviations are predefined, so you can omit the definition. 

(Think of object oriented languages: you create an object, and then can
manipulate it; the reverse is sort of strange)
