Thanks; applied to emacs-24 branch.


The obsolescence message for comint-dynamic-complete-as-filename seems
misleading to me:

   This function is obsolete since 24.1;
   use `comint-filename-completion' instead.

Surely it would be better to say `use comint-dynamic-complete-filename
instead', rather than just saying "See `comint-dynamic-complete-filename'"
in the doc.

I'm using idlwave mode with emacs 24.2 and filename completion in the 
shell is not working. Typing TAB produces nothing: no errors and no 
completions.

The problem seems to be fixed by this patch:
