I'm not sure what you mean, so I googled it, which led to [1], [2], and finally 
[3]. And I'm still not sure what you mean! But this might be what you mean, 
from my abbrev_defs  -

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
define-abbrev-table 'global-abbrev-table
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

What I'm hoping for is something that I can put in my config which will save 
capitalised entries into my abbrev_defs.

Thanks
Sharon.
