When you start with ``c:/program=20= =B4=B4 comint-dynamic-complete will work and probably expand to ``C:/=20 Program\ Files/=B4=B4 ... The reason is that backslash is used as a metacharacter that cannot =20 stand for itself but gives other characters a particular meaning. So, =20= when you write ``\p=B4=B4 it's not a sequence of ``\=B4=B4 and ``p=B4=B4 = but a =20 ``backslashed p=B4=B4, some new entity. -- Greetings Pete Well done is better than well said. -- Benjamin Franklin
