Emacs 18.57, on sparc / SunOS 4.1.1 or pc532 / Minix 1.5h. If I have a directory with the files `emacs', `emacs.bar', `emacsx' and `emacs-bar', type ^X^Femacs and use space to complete the file names, emacs completes to `emacs-' and then `emacs-bar' although there are two other alternatives besides `-' to complete to. Also, the documentation on completion says: > Normally, a completion command that finds the next character is >undetermined automatically displays a list of all possible >completions. If the variable `completion-auto-help' is set to `nil', >this does not happen, and you must type `?' to display the possible >completions. This only happens when space is used for completion, not with tab. Either emacs or the documentation is wrong. //Jyrki
