While developing the new completion system we were discussing ways to get at the strings for the matches from shell code. Support for this kind of stuff is certainly a good reason to add that (after the 4.0 release, though). And I think the completion system can offer other things that might be helpful. Having it tell you the descriptions it can generate for example (describing the types of matches generated in a certain context), having it read the completions and descriptions in menu selection (`option -o is for ...') and so on. I've long wanted to learn more about how handicapped people work with computers. Are there any interesting places on the net I could look at for more information? (Google would certainly tell me several thousand sites but I wouldn't know which are the `good' ones...) Bye Sven -- Sven Wischnowsky wischnow@informatik.hu-berlin.de
