I'd like it. I've often cursed at too-long completion listings that (a) take a long time to scroll past at 9600 baud (well that was a while ago) and (b) aren't readable because they've scrolled past. And I've often used completion listing to get a quick directory listing; having that work for more than one screenful would be good. My only real concern here is that the pager shouldn't get in the way of normal typing. What I'd like is that repeated s show successive pages of listing, after the that shows the first page. That seems intuitive to me, but it might be difficult to fit in with the form of menu completion where the first match is inserted at the same time the list is shown. Not to mention the case of an explicit list requested during completion. That needs some thinking about. -zefram
