Rosh,

I seem to be missing something. What is the connection?

I was talking about the set command in [1] and you are talking about
auto completion.

I did talk about how to add editline in one of the language classes.

That adds auto completion feature to your program shell.

But I don't see the connection between the set(1) shell command
and auto completion.

By the way I find that nowadays the application specific files alone
show up in auto completion. This is a very nice improvement.

For instance, if you have an xls file, it won't get prompted with

$ xpdf

but it will get prompted with

$ soffice

Cool no?
