Thanks for the detailed answer. first off all, thanks for this amazing extention. it is dream come true . you are correct for my intention but i didnt understand the solution. i want to use dabbrev of icicle and also to see ALL words in ALL buffers in the completion list. the use for this is obvious , suppose i do remeber only the middle of word that exist in other buffer. in my current situation i dont know how to "tell" icicle to show all words in all buffers without a prefix. if i use icicle-dabbrev-completion with no prefix i get the message " no dynamic exit" the same message occur with c-u c-u icicle-dabbrev-completion. hope i was clear thanks a lot in advance.
