Brilliant.  Thanks.  I learn something new every day.  I had never run
into skeletons in Emacs before.  Elisp snippets.  Very nice.

More importantly, you have reminded me about the built-in expansion in
org mode that I *always* seem to forget about.  =<s TAB= is easy enough
for me to type!  I think I am going to stick a post-it note on my
forehead until I finally manage to get this imprinted in my conscious
memory!

I already use abbrev-mode quite extensively, but mostly for normal
text.

Thanks again,
eric
