And I'm still not sure what you mean! But this might be what you mean, from my abbrev_defs - Just start an Emacs and type C-h f (that is "describe function"). The minubuffer asks you for a function name, you type in 'define-abbrev' (without the quotes), then ENTER. Alternatively, via the menu: Help -> Describe... -> Describe Function... This will lead you to the function's documentation string. Cheers -- t
