Hi, Does anyone know how filename completion is implemented? It could not be in terms of "completing-read" since "completing-read" is given an alist of completions beforehand while filename completion is more dynamic. One possible way of doing it is a completing read which is given a function to be called instead of a static alist. If this is how it is done, are there primitives available? Basically, I'd like to implement REMOTE file name completion and I figure the easiest thing to do is to emulate the way local filename completion is done. -MSL
