Has anyone else noticed that "Edit" does filename completion, just like
the shell? I was typing a pathname into an Edit window, hitting Esc to
complete each component, when it dawned on me that I wasn't talking to
the shell at all...

I've long believed that filename completion should exist everywhere. My fingers expect it constantly, but rarely is it there. I could certainly use it in vi or "smart" argument completion for man, vi and countless others. Unfortunately this isn't very practical. -- Mike Carlton, UC Berkeley Computer Science Home: carlton@ji.berkeley.edu or ...!ucbvax!ji!carlton -- Mike Carlton, UC Berkeley Computer Science Home: carlton@ji.berkeley.edu or ...!ucbvax!ji!carlton
