The following is an annoying behavior of GNU emacs (at least in 18.53 BSD 4.3, on a Vax): Create three files: "foo", "foo1", and "foo-2". Now do ``C-x f foo'' Hitting <tab> gives the message "[Complete, but not unique]" this implies that there is a file called "foo". Hitting <space> extends "foo" to "foo-" at which point either <space> or <tab> completes this to "foo-2". The problem is that "foo" and "foo-2" can be reached as completions of "foo" but "foo1" can't be reached. It seems like the "[Complete, but not unique]" message should really cause a completion buffer to appear as well. -Michael
