Thanks for the info. I don't really want to get rid of command completion but at this point it is the best alternative for me. I have to hit the Esc key four times also to activate command completion at a blank command line, it's when I use say 'Esc-b' followed by 'Esc-f' that command completion is activated. Thanks, kent
