Thank you both for your input!

Using the Archives and the Help File the following code seems to be working with no problems:

abbreviations.$(file.patterns.html)=$(SciteDefaultHome)\abbrev.properties
abbreviations.$(file.patterns.props)=$(SciteDefaultHome)\abbrev.properties

Any file extension in either file.patterns can use the abbrev.properties file and ...SciTE still considers abbrev.properties as the Global abbrev file.

Can I assume that this method will work if I continue to add additional file.patterns?

I'm setting SciTE up for my students to learn HTML & CSS.
I can add abbreviations and ctrl+shift=r tags to one abbrev file, at least, during their initial learning curve.

This is a great editor!

I would like to make a global abbrev.properties file for html and css,
but the following code won't work in my SciTEGlobal.properties file.

abbrev.$(file.patterns.web)=$(SciteDefaultHome)\html.abbrev

  Check first that this file is the one you think it is. Copy
$(SciteDefaultHome)\html.abbrev into the output pane and press Enter
after it as if you were trying to run it. Don't worry about the error
message. You should see something like:

$(SciteDefaultHome)\html.abbrev
C:\bin\SciTE\html.abbrev
The system cannot find the file specified.

  Now select the expanded path and press Ctrl+Shift+O and that file
should open if it exists.

  Also check that you have the patterns set up for your file extension.
