@vindex abbrev-file-name
- @kbd{M-x read-abbrev-file} reads a file name using the minibuffer and
-then reads the file, defining abbrevs according to the contents of the
-file. @kbd{M-x quietly-read-abbrev-file} is the same except that it
-does not display a message in the echo area saying that it is doing its
-work; it is actually useful primarily in the @file{.emacs} file. If an
-empty argument is given to either of these functions, they use the file
-name specified in the variable @code{abbrev-file-name}, which is by
-default @code{"~/.abbrev_defs"}.
+ @kbd{M-x read-abbrev-file} reads a file name using the minibuffer
+and then reads the file, defining abbrevs according to the contents of
+the file. The function @code{quietly-read-abbrev-file} is similar
+except that it does not display a message in the echo area; you cannot
+invoke it interactively, and it is used primarily in the @file{.emacs}
+file. If either of these functions is called with @code{nil} as the
+argument, it uses the file name specified in the variable
address@hidden, which is by default @code{"~/.abbrev_defs"}.
+That file is your standard abbrev definition file, and Emacs loads
+abbrevs from it automatically when it starts up.
@vindex save-abbrevs
- Emacs will offer to save abbrevs automatically if you have changed any of
-them, whenever it offers to save all files (for @kbd{C-x s} or @kbd{C-x
-C-c}). This feature can be inhibited by setting the variable
address@hidden to @code{nil}.
