Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find much documentation about it. Here is a question that I found: if I redefine eshell-prompt-function to something I like, i.e. no pathname, then completetion doesn't work. I kinda like to have the pathname printed on the window title bar, not at the prompt. Also, if I want to do shell programming, where can I find the elisp primitives? thanks. steve
