[Jim Ingham]

Andrew,

Done.  I suggested:

-interpreter-complete console all? string

which returns

completion="longest match"

if all? is NO, and

completions={"first match", "second match", ...}

if all? is YES.  This would do both single & double <TAB>.  Maybe 
num_completions for all? == YES might be helpful as well?

Jim
