Dear All, As far I as I have understood reading both your past posting and the documentation, in order to have the command-line completion facility, I have to run R within emacs. However, as I try to start R within emacs as recommended: C-u M-x R emacs answers [no match] the same if I provide the whole path to the executable: C-u M-x /usr/bin/R [no match] sorry for such beginner question. regards Giorgio Corani
