Are you sure there are multiple completion candidates in the buffer? If there's only one candidate in the buffer, `dabbrev-completion' will immediately complete the word without bringing up a "*Completions*" buffer. That would look like the same thing `dabbrev-expand' does. You can check which key Emacs thinks you pressed and which command it called by invoking `view-lossage' (bound to "C-h l"). -- Best regards, Martin Marshall
