The trick is that you must not actually finish the process ]of entering the command name in M-x, because when you do, the ]*Completions* buffer is scrapped. This is a common misconception. The buffer is not named "*Completions*", but rather " *Completions*", which effectively makes it invisible. You can switch to this buffer by typing a ' *C' (or however many characters you need to complete) to the prompt from C-xb. Just be careful you don't hit the minibuffer (named *Minibuf-0* or the like) or you'll get very badly screwed (core dump). cca >>>>>>>>>> | harvard >>>>>> | bloom-beacon > |think!rlk Robert Krawitz rutgers >>>>>> | ihnp4 >>>>>>>> .
