Dear R users, is there any possibility to get an object-name completion within the R command line (UNIX-version of R). As I got to know from the FAQ that this is possible from within Emacs (ESS), but without using Emacs?

The hooks in the readline library are there (at least if you don't mind killing filename completion), and getting the list of objects is essentially a matter of cloning what ESS does. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
