I need to refer to the algebra systems MAGMA and GAP throughout my work. I have often seen people write the names so they are capitalised in a pretty way. How do they do this?

For example using small caps, with xspace in addition:

\newcommand*{\MAGMA}{\textsc{magma}\xspace}

Here is a glossaries approach (which might come into real usefullness if there are more than just GAP and MAGMA)

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[nomain,acronym]{glossaries}

\newacronym{gap}{GAP}{Groups, Algorithms and Programming}
\newacronym{magma}{MAGMA}{Acronym still to be defined}

\makeglossaries

\glsunsetall
\begin{document}
\gls{magma} and \gls{gap} are useful computer algebra software systems.
