  Is there an "abbrev" mode specific to pov-mode. (Message 1 to 2 of 2)

Well I've been taught to make my subject line clear.

	More to the point though : can I tweak the abbrev-mode in emacs so
I could have one set of abbreviations dedicated to the pov-mode per
se. All I get now is a "no per mode" error message. So I use the
global mode but it isn't tidy.
	Since I'm quite new (that's a permanent state in my case) I'll need
some fairly detailed info. I'm good at using Emacs, next-to-nil at
Elisping (I still write "lips" half the time.) although it hasn't
kept my nose out of the .emacs file or pov-mode.el.

	Thanks.

Hi
well, since I am not using abbrev-mode myself, and I don't have any real
knowledge 
about elisp, I haven't updated the code for abbreviations. If you look
at the code 
for pov-mode the abbrev-code starts at around line 455 (it's a line that
says
';;; Completions'). If you update this part of the code (I think most of
it is adding
the new keywords) I would appreciate it if you send a unified diff to me
so I can 
incorporate it into the offical verison.
