Re: [VM] vm-pcrisis

[Jay Borkenhagen]

Thanks, Uday!  I guess I did not suspect that I had some typos of that
kind because I did not receive any error messages.

As for the overly-elaborate strings: I agree with you wholeheartedly.
I was using them only to help me stick closer to the texinfo manual.
If you would like me to take a shot at simplifying/correcting the
texinfo, I would gladly do so as my contribution to the cause.

One thing that isn't quite working as I used to have or as is
documented in the texinfo is the prompting.  Per the texinfo:

  One thing to bear in mind is that when you are prompted, there will
  be auto-completion available -- you'll only need to type enough to
  uniquely identify a profile (you won't even need to hit TAB).

I find that I do need to hit tab now to get the auto-completion.  If
my two profiles are "work" and "braeburn", I would like to be able to
type "w RET" and have vm-pcrisis behave as if I had entered the entire
"work RET".  But now "w RET" leaves 'Action "w" does not exist!' in
the minibuffer.
