In fact, there's already a 'proc' abbreviation snippet in the Samples
folder in the Toolbox. By default abbreviations are bound to
'Ctrl'+'T', but you can change this to 'Tab' if you wish:

  Edit|Preferences|Editor|Key Bindings|Commands 
    ->  Editor: Insert Abbreviation Snippet by Name

When you view 'proc' snippet's properties, it looks like this:

  proc [[%tabstop:NAME]] {[[%tabstop:ARGS]]} {
     [[%tabstop]]
     }

To get what you're looking for, you would edit the snippet to look like this:

   #############################################################
   # Procedure: [[%tabstop:procName]]
   #
   # Arguments:
   #     [[%tabstop:Args]]
   #
   # Returns:
   #     [[%tabstop]]
   #
   # See Also:
   #
   proc [[%tabstop:procName]] {[[%tabstop:Args]]} {
       [[%tabstop]]
   }

While you're editing the snippet's properties, you could also shorten the name
to 'pro' to get it to trigger on three characters.

Hope this helps.
