I think I tracked it down some more. The shell mode function seemed to
work correctly upon initial emacs startup, but after using pmwiki-mode
in other buffers the skeleton stuff would fail. The pmwiki-mode I have
installed includes:

  (set (make-local-variable 'skeleton-transformation) 'identity)

After I commented that out and restarted, the skeleton stuff works,
even after using pmwiki-mode.  Sorry for the false alarm.


Cheers,
Len.
