Run "emacs -Q" or "emacs -q". > 2. Type "C-h f file-p SPC". > 3. The minibuffer shows "file--p" even though no function's name starts > with that sequence of characters. But there's no function starting with "file-p" and all the functions that match "file.*-p.*" have 2 dashes before the p so they also match "file.*-.*-p.*", which is why a second - is added. Stefan
