Well your not flying to a waypoint, your flying to abeam a waypoint you created. If you create the waypoint EEP using the lat/long then enter EEP in fix info, then push the abeam button, all you are doing is inserting ABEEP on your FMS flight plan, you do not fly over EEP as that is not what is on your FMS, you pass abeam EEP at the FMS point ABEEP. You still fly on the airway between the two waypoints on the flightplan but pass ABEEP which is your ETOPS entry point.
