AbiWord will put whatever suffix you specify.  
If you tell AbiWord to put a DOC suffix on an RTF 
file, it will.  But I have never seen it do this 
automatically.

My wife regularly creates RTF documents in AbiWord
(running on a BL3 laptop), emails them to her work
address, and prints them the next day in MS-Word.

It's possible to bind keys in the BL3 editor too.
Just run it in X and define your keybindings in
~/.Xdefaults.  For example, if you add this to
the bottom of .Xdefaults
-----------------------------
rxvt*keysym.0xFFBE:"<A HREF="
-----------------------------
It will output that string every time you press F1
(even inside e3pi).  The keysym for F2 is 0xFFBF 
and F3 is 0xFFC0 (and so on).
