My NeXT CC came back with the suggestion of running with Emac's key-bindings
turned ON.  It didn't change the Expansion Dictionary's presentation (where
are all those buttons anyway?), but the escape key now works to signal
an abbreviation.

After some further testing, it is apparent that Edit will not use some keys as  
command-keys.  I was trying to use command-j for a date function (to mirror  
WordPerfect)  and it didn't work. Using command-5, all is well.  I cannot see
why command-j is not allowed, as it is not already defined as a command key
in Edit, nor is it used by any of the Services defined to work with Edit.
