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, Gail Bayley Hanrahan {ihnp4,decvax,ucbvax}!sdcsvax!calmasd!gail Calma Company, San Diego
