!^R Extended Command:! !^R Read an extended command from the terminal with completion.
This command reads the name of a function, with completion,
followed by the string arguments for the function.  Then the
function is called.  Completion is done as the function name is typed
(for more information type the HELP key while entering the name).
Follow the function name with a  and then the arguments; end with <cr>.
For customization info see the source code.!

!* Internals:
Uses & Read Command Name and & Read Line to echo at bottom of screen.
If the variable Read Command Prompt exists it specifies the prompt string;
otherwise "MM " is used.  A numeric argument is passed along to the M-X
command.  The command string is saved on the minibuffer ring
so that ^R Re-execute Mini will redo it, and ^R Execute Mini
with argument will get it back for editing.!

!^R Instant Extended Command:! !^R Run extended command; let it read its own arguments.
This command is the same as ^R Extended Command except that
it does not read any string arguments; the function itself does so.
This allows special processing such as completion to be done
on arguments which are function names or filenames.!

Internals:
Uses & Read Command Name to echo at bottom of screen.
If the variable Instant Command Prompt exists it specifies the prompt string;

!& Read Command Name:! !S Read in an command name, with completion.
Rubout, ^D, ^U and ^L perform editing.  Space and Altmode do completion.
? lists choices.

Takes a prompt-string as a following string argument.
A numeric argument is the initial contents of the string to be accumulated.
A pre-comma arg containing the "4" bit means don't wait for a confirming CR;
the "2" bit means complete over the symbol table in CRL List using the prefix
string in CRL Prefix.  The "8" bit is deliberately ignored.
The "16" bit permits names that don't match.
The "32" bit means CR is allowed with an empty name.

The F^K command with the "8" bit set in its precomma arg
calls & Read Command Name, passing along its arguments.

Two values are returned, the second being the completed string
(or 0 if exit was due to over-rubout).
The first is bit-decoded; 1 means we displayed the string,
2 means the terminating character was Return, 4 means we terminated
without doing completion so the string might not match any alternative.

See Source code for more info.!

!* If the 16 bit is set in the pre-comma arg, then names
which don't match are permitted.  How to specify one is
controlled by the value of CRL Non-Match Method:
2 bit:  CR will terminate without performing completion
4 bit:  LF will terminate without performing completion
8 bit:  if user types CR and completion is not possible,
        typing another CR will terminate without performing completion
	(this overrides the presence of the 2 bit); also, typing
	C-CR will terminate without performing completion (if your
	terminal cannot generate the 9-bit character set, then you
	may want to set the 4 bit also, so the you can use LF)
The default value is 2.  (A value of 1 will prohibit non-matches
in ALL cases.)

CRL Name Lister can (if not zero) contain a function for use
in assembling the list of matching items, for "?".
This function is used as follows:  

	(1) For each name to display, the function is called with no
	pre-comma arg, and a post-comma arg which is an index into CRL
	List (which can be found in Q.1).  The function should insert
	information about that name into the buffer beginning at
	point, and include a CRLF at the end.

	(2) The function is called with a pre-comma arg of 1, with the
	buffer containing all the names.  The entire buffer will be
	displayed after the function returns.  (Some things it can do:
	sort the names, insert a heading, etc.)

If the variable CRL Name Type is nonzero, it should contain
a string such as "buffer" which fits in the slot:
"You are entering a <name type> name..."
It is used in help messages.

If the variable CRL Help is nonzero, it is printed
after the regular help message is given.
