* doc/lispref/minibuf.texi (Completion Commands)
(Completion in Buffers, Programmed Completion): Add to text
that references completion tables a cross-reference to where
"completion table" is described.
(Programmed Completion): Fix the description of
'completion-table-dynamic'. Add more cross-references.
Dear eamcs developers, eshells current documentation first states
that alias definitions are not saved to an alias file, later that
they are saved to an alias file. I tested it and the latter is
correct.
Please find attached a patch which fixes this.
Thanks for working on emacs which is really great, Gregor
