read_with_completion

["G. Milde" <g.milde@xxxxxx>]

Dear John, dear Jed Users,

since the update to Jed Version: B0.99.17-135, I get a different behaviour
of the read_with_completion() function if used with the 'f' argument.

Up to now, I could use 

% find a file in a specified directory
static define find_file_with_completion(dir)
{
   variable file;
   % append directory separator if not present
   dir = path_concat((dir), "");
   file = read_with_completion("Find file:", "", dir, 'f');
   () = find_file(file);
}

for a shortcut to opening a file in some often usede dir (e.g.
/usr/share/doc/). Now, in 

   read_with_completion (prt, dflt, s, 'f');

it seems like dflt and s are ignored :-(


Is this a bug or a feature.


Guenter

BTW: there is a documentation bug, as the usage says the function doesnot
return a value:

   Void read_with_completion (String prt, String dflt, String s, Integer type);
