But: C-h v completion-ignored-extensions RET also says: | Documentation: | *Completion ignores filenames ending in any string in this list. | This variable does not affect lists of possible completions, | but does affect the commands that actually do completions. hmm, maybe I'm a bit dense, but I do not fully understand... Any way it *does not* affect the presented list of completions like the documentation says... Robert
