The manual doesn't differentiate but AFAICS there are three types: command, filename and location. Successful completion now always leaves a trailing space but its only really needed for commands (so following words can then be typed). It's not needed for locations and is a nuisance for filenames because using it on a filename requires the space to be deleted after successfully completing on each component/directory. It used to add a slash instead, which is much more useful. -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob
