I am not working under Losedows and I am not writing a path with ``\
´´ (except I want to "escape" SPC or such in the path name) – and the
latter makes an important difference! When you start with ``c:/program
´´ comint-dynamic-complete will work and probably expand to ``C:/
Program\ Files/´´ ...
The reason is that backslash is used as a metacharacter that cannot
stand for itself but gives other characters a particular meaning. So,
when you write ``\p´´ it's not a sequence of ``\´´ and ``p´´ but a
``backslashed p´´, some new entity.
