The documentation string for the function 'complete-symbol' is as follows: [START DOCSTRING] "complete-symbol is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `bindings'. (complete-symbol arg) Perform tags completion on the text around point. Completes to the set of names listed in the current tags table. The string to complete is chosen in the same way as the default for M-. (which see). With a prefix argument, this command does completion within the collection of symbols listed in the index of the manual for the language you are using." [END DOCSTRING] It might be good to add a description of what the argument "arg" does by changing the last paragraph to something such as: "With a prefix argument or if ARG is non-nil, this command does completion within the collection of symbols listed in the index of the manual for the language you are using." --=20 "Cut your own wood and it will warm you twice" =09Regards, Yoni Rabkin Katzenell
