Thanks, i'll try this tonight.

I was wondering yesterday about if it would be possible to dynamically
create lists of words that it emacs can complete. For instance if I #define
myBigObject = union {...} could emacs somehow pick up "myBigObject" as an
available keyword for completion.

surely impossible without any lisp knowledge.
