I am finaling working with my 3.0 machine, and have run smack into a major problem; the functionality of Edit's Expansion Dictionary is seems to be null for me. I cannot get it to expand abbreviations, let alone creating fields within the expansion. The manual section seems to be incongruent with the presented options, namely the Expansion Dictionary Window is totally different than the window presented by the 3.0 App (verified with the CD-Rom version of Edit.app). Question: Does the Edit Expansion Dictionary work as advertised under 3.0, making me look at the rest of my environment (part 2.1, part 3.0), or is it flat broke? And another aside: Has anyone been able to put command-key equivs on User Pipe menu items via the documented method using pipedict? I have tried, and it seems to ignore them. Put the same line in .commanddict and it works with out a problem. -- - Geoff ----------------------------------------------------------------- Geoffrey Brunkhorst brunkhorst@Mayo.edu Research Computing Facility, Guggenheim 10 (507) 284-1805 Mayo Foundation, Rochester MN, 55905, USA fax (507) 284-5231
