Subject: a WOULD BE NICE suggestion

Pine is great!

Someday, it would be even greater if filename completion (i.e., ESC-ESC)
were added for Saving to or Reading from a file.

In case I'm not making myself clear... I'm talking about the standard sort
of Unix shell feature where you where wanting to do
	rm ~/temp_stuff/document.v50a
you could use automatic completion to specify the sub-directory temp_stuff and 
then again to specify document.v50a by typing enough characters to identify
the string you meant and pressing ESC-ESC.

Yes, I agree....  Completion is there for folder names (press Tab to 
complete a name, providing you have the appropriate feature turned on in 
the Setup Configuration screen).  However it doesn't seem to work for 
filenames (saving, including text, attaching files).

Is this one for the Pine Team to consider?
