Thanks, Terry. The "boot" was a typo on my part; the outline had bool. I 
was trying to use the abbreviation immediately after entering it in my 
outline. But after starting Leo this morning, I noticed that "Abbreviations 
are on" and the abbreviation worked perfectly! Is a Leo restart required, 
or should I have run a command to cause the new abbreviation(s) to be 
recognized?
 
Thanks again.
