I have no idea how it works, but I'm pretty sure yi does this --- e.g. if you hit M-x (when in emacs emulation mode) and then tab-complete, you see a list of all the available functions. Maybe you want to take a look at the yi source code and see how they do it. -Brent _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
