Uhm, if you find yourself stuck on an NT machine, here is a litle known registry setting which enables a primative form of filename completion in a cmd.exe shell. Set HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\CompletionChar to 0x9 (the tab char). I got this from an FAQ on ntemacs I think, and it mentioned something about cmd.exe crashing ocassionally because of it, but that's nothing terribly rare with MS software. (Of course cygwin bash is the best NT solution...) Another invaluable NT setting is: HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Mouse/ActiveWindowTracking set to 1 - This gives you focus-follows-mouse, yea!!! ksb
