Presumably Neil understood that the easiest way is to type "z" instead of
"Z", since the abbreviation replacement is taking the case of the entered
text.

So, a better solution is to edit the abbrev entry to look something like:

	"Z"  5  "{"   (lambda nil (insert "\\bf Z}"))

.  Yeah, that's a hack, but .... ::-{)}
