    In ZWEI in System 78.48, ZMail 38.5, microcode 836, " VAX", on Lisp Machine Twenty:

    In Word Abbrev Mode, doing a m-X Replace to replace all
    occurrences of one character with another. The replacement
    happens correctley on the abbreviations, but not on their
    expansions.

I cannot judge what you mean.  Can you be more explicit, perhaps
giving an example?  I don't see how abbreviations and expansions
relate to m-X Replace at all.

BTW, what is the " VAX" for in your partition comment?
