It works in DQSD as long as you have "multiline=false;" and
"autocomplete=true;"

It *will* 'auto-complete' file paths you've already entered (which
exist in the history) - but will not dynamically build file paths from
paths on the system.

I agree 100%.

However, it is my opinion that code should always be written to
reduce, or at least minimize, the 'god-awful-error' effect. If we
don't use this particular error trap - and gowidth is a required field
at that particular state - we should test for it's existence and pop a
more user-friendly error that describes the problem (perhaps with an
option to open a url to a known bugs/support page), as opposed to
simply letting the user try to decipher an error like 'line <random>:
gowidth undefined', where the line number changes 100% according to
the number of searches they have enabled/installed.

This functionality could be encompassed into a 'search' of it's own -
that submitted a variable and procedure name to q DSQD support page
that returned the 'best guess' fix for their problem. I haven't been
through enough of the code to see how we'd do this - but am sure it
could be done. It would probably require all of these variables to be
pre-declared with default values within a script explicitly for that
purpose though. On that note, though, if the default values were
accurately being respected, the error probably would not appear
anyway. :)
