+'''Complete the current word before the cursor with words in the editor.
+
+Each menu selection or shortcut key selection replaces the word with a
+different word with the same prefix. The search for matches begins
+before the target and moves toward the top of the editor. It then starts
+after the cursor and moves down. It then returns to the original word and
+the cycle starts again.
+
+Changing the current text line or leaving the cursor in a different
+place before requesting the next selection causes AutoExpand to reset
+its state.
+
+This is an extension file and there is only one instance of AutoExpand.
