I almost never have to hit C-q to enter a space in a filename, but regularly use the spacebar to complete filenames. Of course those not used to working mostly at shell prompts, and therefore more used to useing spaces in filenames will obviously have different habits.... -JimC -- James H. Cloos, Jr.
