How do I go about adding a simple button to tinymce on the default editor area of my new Custom Post Type?

I'd like the button, when clicked, to ask for a text value. The script should then lowercase the input and replace spaces with hyphens, and insert [glossary=value-entered] into the editor.

Thanks in advance,

I actually hadn't. Is that up to date? Is it simply a case of writing a tinyMCE plugin then using that WP code to load it? – dunc Feb 8 '12 at 22:55
That is up to date. It is as you say, writing a TinyMCE plugin and calling that with the WP code. That is how I've done it in the past. – Sterling Hamilton Feb 9 '12 at 5:16
