Hi Rainer,

I am not sure how this is supposed to work in a practical way.  Are  
these for filling in 3 different places in a tempate, or just one?  In  
the latter case, how about setting up a syntax
    company1/customer name1|company1/customer name2 .... | company2/ 
customer name4...


and then just using completion to go throough from company to name?
