It does -- this is what it looks like in XEmacs:

Click button2up on a completion to select it.
Type M-v or prior to move to this buffer, for keyboard selection.

Possible completions are:

for example, arrow keys move by items, not by characters in the
buffer.  Try it out and you'll see what I mean.
