Pk., MD 20742 Lines: 11 Completion is nice. It lets one abbreviate; one need not remember the exact spelling of some command or option; and so forth. Completion is bad. The moment there is a new command or option, the old subnames no longer work. (Emacs---Gosling and GNU, at least---does completion, and I expect a number of people have experienced both the good and the bad.) -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci Dept (+1 301 454 7690) Domain: chris@mimsy.umd.edu Path: uunet!mimsy!chris
