I find menu completion very useful, and I like seeing the list of candidates below it. yes, that's the one I want, and it executes. Then I found menu *selection*, which let me see where I was as I tabbed thru the candidates by highlighting where I am in the list, which is very convenient. Unfortunately, when I reach the one I want and hit , it no longer executes. Now it just inserts a space and sits there waiting for me to enter more. I have to hit enter again to make it execute. I like being able to see where I am on the list more than tabbing thru it blindly, and I like being able to navigate particularly long lists by using the arrow keys (very nice), but how do I get it to execute when I hit the first time, just the way it does when I'm tabbing thru the list without highlighting? If I want to enter two parameters -- which is the minority of cases -- I should be able to just hit the spacebar and start tabbing again the way I can when the "selection" highlighting is turned off, I would think. Can menu completion with selection turned on be made to execute on the first tab like it can with selection turned off? Thanks. _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
