Didn't work, but I went back and looked at the FoxCode table directly
USE (_foxcode) AGAIN ALIAS foxc SHARED
and noticed a difference. The original record had script in the Data field that returned the same as the expansion, which I had tried through the Intellisense Manager without useful results. However, the Cmd field for the original was set to "{}". When I added this to the new record, it worked as well.

Thanks for phrasing your question as you did, because that pointed me in the right direction. :-)
