I have the following abbreviation ("\\s" "\\section{}\\label{:sec:}" backward-char 0) such that in XEmacs when I type '\s' followed by a space it prints \section{}\label{:sec:} In Emacs, this does not work. It does not recognise the '\\s' abbreviation. I have to use ("s" "\\section{}\\label{:sec:}" backward-char 0) for this to work. Is this a bug? Many thanks, Fabrizio
