This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team,
not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
Please describe as succinctly as possible:
- What happened.
- What you thought should have happened.
- Precisely what you were doing at the time.
Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have.
================================================================
Dear Bug Team!
I've just started using completer.el (from ilisp) as included by the
sample init.el. However, when completing command names at a shell
prompt, it doesn't find anything e.g. for "pl" where normal completion
offers a selection of commands including "play". Commenting out all
the comint stuff in completer.el gives me the other benefits (Lisp and
command completion such as a-f -> auto-fill-mode) without this
problem, but presumably it is supposed to work?

One would think so, yes. But, as you say, it doesn't. I have
forwarded your bug report on to our ilisp maintainer, hopefully he'll
have an answer.
Thanks for reporting this.
