This command inserts at point any additional characters that it can determine from the partial name. (If your window manager defines `M-' to switch windows, you can type ` ' or `C-M-i'.) The window manager of course does not use M-. It uses Alt-. Meta is Emacs specific and could be on another keyboard key than Alt. I think this should be corrected to avoid confusion.
