Well, for instance:
- words and abbreviations that are important specifically in the context of the WP 31S, e.g. ‘UNDO’, ‘IOP’, ‘register browser’, ‘RESET’, ‘USB’.
- the first occurrence of words that not everybody understands immediately, e.g. ‘monadic’, ‘dyadic’; hopefully the term is explained there.
- mathematical concepts that are treated more or less extensively, like some statistical distributions, PMF, PDF, CDF.

Hmmh, I think I wrote a manual ... so call me old-school, but if you start reading at the beginning you'll find those topics covered in ...
... the Common Abbreviations (see IOP and USB explained on p. 10),
... Section 1: Getting Started (see monadic and dyadic functions explained on pp. 20 and 22, respectively, UNDO on p. 34),
... Section 3 dealing with the whole statistical stuff from the beginning,
... Section 5: Catalogs and a Browser .

And Section 4: Index of Operations is a place where you get reference information for each and every command (and which will point you to in depth coverage elsewhere if applicable).

Summing up, even the Table of Contents may be worth reading.

Do I have to repeat everything in an index? No, Sir, I'm not convinced yet.
