Once again I am forced to wonder if you have _ever_ actually used emacs. find-file has tab completion: hit tab without anything typed, and it displays _everything_ in the directory; type a few characters to narrow it down; hit tab to complete the filename and be done with it. Or of course you could use directory mode, which enables you to navigate around a directory tree, performing actions on files (including editing them). Then of course there's ido.el, which is even better: type a few characters from anywhere in the name, and it displays files matching those characters. You've never actually run emacs, have you? -- Robert Uhl <http://public.xdi.org/=ruhl> The power of Satan is as nothing before the might of the Lord, so don't go getting any ideas. --I Abyssinians 20:20 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
