- Mind Reader does not have abbreviation expansion as such, but you
- can edit the dictionaries as needed. The program is mildly smart,
- in that it counts your word usage and presents word choices based
- on this word count. It has a fairly powerful search & replace
- function which would allow you to do your own abbrev. exp.
- manually. This is the only shareware progran that I've used with
- these features, but I'm sure that there are others around.
