[texworks] Command Completion in TeXworks Manual

[Alain Delmotte]

Hi Herb,

Thanks for the comments.
The successive use of [Tab] is explained in section 4.6 (p. 16) in the 
body of the manual.
Of course this could be repeated in the appendix.

I agree with you, the  auto-completion system of TeXworks (coming from 
TeXshop on Mac) is really a wonderful system.

Regards,

Alain
