Hello Arachnids:
I have been seeing a number of comments being posted here about this
file completion feature, available with some programs and OS's.
I don't understand why anyone would want to have the additional overhead
required of such a feature if all it can do for you is to save you a
couple of keypresses now and then. Of course I realize that such a
feature would be somewhat nice for some people to have, but is it really
worth it in terms of the additional overhead for system resources that
could otherwise be devoted to something much more useful? I think not,
IMHO.

Sam Heywood
