Wish I could say yes, but just wanted to say that Shawn's (a) happens
for me too - well, slightly different:  when TAB is used to complete
object names, all packages attached in the search path are scanned.
This happens with NTEmacs 21.2.1 (also happened with 20.7), R 1.5.1,
ESS 5.1.21 on a Windows NT4 workstation.

I have followed the installation instructions (I believe):  The
ess-r-namedb.el file sits in the ESS directory.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Andreas
