RE: [Ilisp-devel] completer fix for Emacs running on Windows

[Clementson, B. <Bil...@jd...>]

Could you give an example of a situation where completer does not work
properly on Emacs in Windows? It seems to work fine on my setup (Emacs
21.2, Win2000, Ilisp-cvs).

For example, if I type the following:
(setq x "c:/  =20
and press the key for "complete-lisp", I get a listing of the
files/directories on my C:\ folder.=20

Are you getting different behavior? If so, on what versions of
emacs/windows/ilisp?
