I am trying to follow the JDE user guide, I have found the section that says to turn on code completion, alter the flag in JDE->Project->Options->General and set for current session : Jde Enable Abbrev Mode: [Hide] [Toggle] on (non-nil) [State]: you have set this option, but not saved it for future sessions. Enable expansion of abbreviations in jde-mode. [More] however when I then try code completion with ext<space>, nothing happens. Please could anyone explain what I have done wrong. Cheers Neil
