heed a request
Yes, you can 'heed a request' in my opinion. It is the first translation that came to my mind too. Heed - pay attention to; take notice of. Also, I find it closer to 'gehoor geven ' than the other suggestions given here.

| I think I shall heed your suggestion :) |
| Thanks again. I used your suggestion, but went with 'honour' for the glossary. Think that's more general... |
