In my opinion, the best answer is: - help integrate IDO functionality into icomplete-mode (and into the default completion system). but the more realistic one should be: > - just call `completing-read' and tell the user to set > `completing-read-function' to `ido-completing-read'? Tho just setting it like that might not work 100%, so better use ido-ubiquitous, which should hopefully deal with the special cases (I have no idea whether it does, tho). Stefan
