I had this line: 


;; GNUS - GnuEmacs News service
(autoload 'gnus "gnus" "read USENET news." t)
(autoload 'gnus-post-news "gnus" "Post news to USENET." t)

in my .emacs file, and was getting messages when I tried to use gnus
that indicated that the file was being loaded, but nothing would
happen.  When I tried any command other than "gnus" or
"gnus-post-news" I got a message indicating that that command
(whatever) had not been made available by loading "gnus".  I changed
my .emacs file to read as follows:

;; GNUS - GnuEmacs News service
(autoload 'gnus "gnus.elc" "read USENET news." t)
(autoload 'gnus-post-news "gnus.elc" "Post news to USENET." t)

and this works fine, but the documentation indicates that it shouldn't
have been necessary.  Any ideas?  Is there a flag somewhere that I may
somehow have set that would turn *off* elisp file name completion?
