Basically, the command should just execute 'dabbrev-expand' if there is a SPC before point, or else insert a SPC and then execute 'dabbrev-expand': (defun complete-further (arg) "Insert space if necessary and then call dabbrev-expand." (interactive "*P") (if (not (eq (preceding-char) ?\s)) (insert ?\s)) (dabbrev-expand arg)) The only problem is that it ain't working :( What am I doing wrong? Best regards, /Stefan
