    Right now, it's a program that (when integrated into SetEdit or RHIDE using
a provided eLisp function) displays the prototype of a (partially) typed
function name.  I posted (as Endlisnis) a link to the preliminary binary
distribution of it.  <Note:  Nortel Networks has no affiliation with Endlisnis
or any software he provides>

    Eventually, it will display lists of struct/class/union members when the
"." key is hit.  [hopefully, if I get support from SET] allowing you to just
choose from the list.  It also plans on doing many other things which appear in
some commercial IDE's.
