Hi all,

Like most today's software, emacs now may force the fancy refinements that  
its developers imagine or reproduce onto the average user that does not  
care a hoot for them and has no desire to change his habits. I already had  
such problems with tramp mode etc.

The difference with many other software programs is that I know that even  
if emacs now puts its smarties by default like the others, I should at  
least be able to get rid of it. However it is not always that easy.

I have been enduring the new smart minibuffer completion for a while and  
now I just won't take it any more. The recent versions of emacs complete  
the minibuffer strings in a way that is just not for me. If I type a "z"  
as first character, I want the "zap" or "zen" completion choice, not  
"buzz" nor "paz". If there is no completion beginning with z, I want  
nothing. Period.

I tried dynamic-completion-mode with no avail.

Hints ?

Alexandre
