(Fminibuffer_complete_word): GCPRO1 `completion' during calls to Ftry_completion. (read_minibuf): Rewrite change of Sep 14. Save the return value on the history list provided in the form that the value is returned, iff the value is not equal to the front of the history list. (Fread_no_blanks_input): Change DEFUN to allow 2nd arg to be optional. The code was already written correctly.

;;; Commentary:

;; This mode uses the Keywords library header to provide code-finding
;; services by keyword.
;;
;; Things to do:
;;    1. Support multiple keywords per search.  This could be extremely hairy;
;; there doesn't seem to be any way to get completing-read to exit on
;; an EOL with no substring pending, which is what we'd want to end the loop.
;;    2. Search by string in synopsis line?
;;    3. Function to check finder-package-info for unknown keywords.

;;; Code:

(require 'lisp-mnt)
(require 'finder-inf)
(require 'picture)
