[net.emacs] questions on abbrev mode in UniPress EMACS

gail@calmasd.UUCP (Gail B. Hanrahan) (11/10/84)

All right, I give up.  Can someone please tell me how to make
abbrev mode work?

I am running UniPress EMACS #264 on 4.2bsd.  I have set the
variable abbrev-mode to 1 in .emacs_pro.  I am autoloading
abbreviate-word from abbrev.ml.

use-abbrev-table seems to work, read- and write-abbrev-file
seem to work, abbreviate-word seems to work, but after I define
an abbreviation, I can never get it to expand.

Mail to me, and please include LOTS of context in your answers.
I'll summarize to the net, if necessary.

In advance, many thanks,
