When I press tab, possible arguments etc just show up in another emacs buffer. Do I need to press any particular key? Do I need to do any specific configuration? In addition now a browser window is opened automatically when I partially type a function name until only one possibility is left. Is it possible to switch this off? Cheers Jannis
