When I tried any command other than "gnus" or "gnus-post-news" I got a message indicating that that command (whatever) had not been made available by loading "gnus". I changed my .emacs file to read as follows: ;; GNUS - GnuEmacs News service (autoload 'gnus "gnus.elc" "read USENET news." t) (autoload 'gnus-post-news "gnus.elc" "Post news to USENET." t) and this works fine, but the documentation indicates that it shouldn't have been necessary. Any ideas? Is there a flag somewhere that I may somehow have set that would turn *off* elisp file name completion? -- --mike bergman bergman@m2c.org
