R help - Dec 2003 - ESS tab completion for file names

Hi all,

Using Xemacs/ESS (Xemacs 21.4-12/ESS 5.1.24), I noticed that tab 
completion does not work for file names.

df <- read.csv("xx     [TAB]

doesn't complete the file name.

After hitting TAB, I get "last thing matched was not a buffer" in the 
status bar. Any idea what may go wrong?

Thanks for any advice

The ESS doc says (section 3.2):

Completion is also provided over file  names, which is particularly 
useful when using S functions such as get() or scan() (...) whenever the 
cursor is within an S string, pressing TAB completes the file name 
before point, and also expands any '~' or environment variable
references.

So this should work, but maybe something is wrong with my configuration?
