This experiment is probably not the Right Way to do this, but it may be food for thought. Another alternative would be to spawn an exportfs "next to" the rc inside the window, and have rio use that to find completions. Not terribly pleasant, but might be workable. --nwf; --ytoMbUMiTKPMT3hY Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkjmTh8ACgkQTeQabvr9Tc9AlACfSe83nKtsdELmgnvkziU3f4wj 34EAnRRHlQOGnBZf5tFMrK2KzSsPQcdz =DUZD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --ytoMbUMiTKPMT3hY--
