   The @code{complete} library implements a more powerful kind of
 completion that can complete multiple words at a time.  For example, it
 can complete the command name abbreviation @code{p-b} into
 @code{print-buffer}, because no other command starts with two words
-whose initials are @samp{p} and @samp{b}.  To use this library, put
-@code{(load "complete")} in your @file{~/.emacs} file (@pxref{Init
-File}).
+whose initials are @samp{p} and @samp{b}.  To enable this, use the
+command @kbd{M-x partial-completion-mode} or customize the option
+@code{partial-completion-mode}.  Unless the option
+@code{PC-disable-includes} is @code{t}, Partial Completion mode also
+extends @kbd{M-x find-file} so that the @samp{<@dots{}>} sequence is
+interpreted as a file on the path @code{PC-include-file-path}.  When
+this mode is active, the Meta versions of the @kbd{TAB}, @kbd{SPC},
+@kbd{RET} and @kbd{?} keys act as those keys do by default for
+completion.
