I'm a SAS programmer trying out EG 5.1. I imported by keyboard abbreviations from my SAS 9.2 session and none of them worked. I figured out that they didn't work because they all started with a period ('.cmtmakefmt'). If I changed them to start with '_', they worked sometimes. In trying to understand why they didn't always work, I learned that I was trying to use them inside comment sections, e.g. /* */ If I used them outside and put semi colons after them,they would be recalled. Is there way to set up EG so that I can use abbreviations where the editor doesn't care where you are in the code, it just allows you to stick in code, like it does in the Enhanced Editor in SAS DMS. Thanks.
