By default, xterm is not compiled with support for the dabbrev-expand function. (Please refer to the manual page to see what this does. It can be very useful. Basically, you can quickly expand words from the xterm window with a single keypress, without having to copy and paste it with the mouse.) Fix: The patch below adds an option to the port that can be used to enable support for dabbrev-expand at compile- time. I chose to set the default for the new option to "on" because the function isn't bound to any key by default, so it shouldn't hurt anyone. However, if the port maintainer prefers to keep it off by default, that would be fine with me, too. I've tested this patch, mapped dabbrev-expand to a key (in my case the Insert key, though YMMV), and it works perfectly well. How-To-Repeat: Assign dabbrev-expand() to a key, as explained in the xterm(1) manual page, and try to use it. It doesn't work.
