Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] Tab completion

[Jean-Francois L. <jfl...@gm...>]

Hi Eric,

I just tried updating emacs to the most recent version (23.2.1) and I
still get the same behavior... of course that's not to say there's no
bug in emacs ;) but I'll take any idea you might have!

Thanks again!
JF

I use emacs on a regular basis but only for simple text editing purposes, so my knowledge of Lisp and .emacs configuration settings is extremely limited...
