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.
