hi there

i use emacs 21.3 on win2000 and have assosiated a bash with the comint/shell
functionality. this works fine, but the cpmletion via TAB (command
`comint-dynamic-complete') doesn't recognize paths with spaces correctly:

the first compeltion with a spaces works, e.g.:

    C:/Prog  =tab=>  C:/Program Files/

the second one doesn't:, eg.:

    C:/Program Files/Moz   =tab=>  error: No completions of Files/Moz

so it doesn't pick up the part before the space,in order to expand to
C:/Program Files/Mozilla. i tried it with double quotes to the beginning of
the path, like

    "C:/Program Files/Moz  =tab=> ...

but it doesn't work either. :-(

how can i tweak the comint-shell-package to make this work?

thanks, leo
