I am having trouble getting entries in Edit's expansion dictionary to  
expand...although they do show up ok, both in the Edit <command>-E window and  
in the ~/.editdict file. Then I am just supposed to type the abbreviation and  
<Esc> or what?
If I do that it just beeps at me....
Thanks for any info

You need to enable "Emacs Key Bindings" in the Global section of  
Preferences to get the escape key to work.
