What version of Emacs is that? And how few is ``a very few files''? Completion worked for me in "emacs -nw" in the latest CVS version for as long as I tried. Also, does it help to invoke "emacs -nw -q"? Perhaps your .emacs customizations are the culprit? > I am using cygwin in rxvt at the moment, but it doesn't seem to be any > different in this regard to plain console. I only tried the native Command Prompt window. I'd guess Cygwin rxvt _does_ have something to do with this, as there are fundamental incompatibilities between Cygwin and native Windows handling of the console device. Are you sure you tried in ``plain console''? could it be that the Cygwin Bash was running in the plain console?
