In the Unix-shell 'csh' I can enter e.g. ESC to complete a partially typed filename or user name. Is there anything like that in shell-mode in GNU-emacs? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Oystein Fosli snail: P.O.Box 1053, Blindern ARPA Internet: University of Oslo fosli%ifi.uio.no@uunet.uu.net 0316 OSLO 3 voice:+47-2-45-5973 Norway

I have written something to do this (via the minibuffer). The first time you do it in an emacs session, in reads all the directories along your shell search path, and includes any executables it finds on its completion list. This takes so long (a few minutes on a full system) that I hardly ever use it! But after the first time, it is OK. If you're still interested, I'll post it. __John (jcgs@uk.ac.harlqn)
