my understanding is that the auto completion is built up for each
account as the register for that account is opened. THis means that
the autocomplete will only have information from the particular
account you are working in and there is no "global" auto-complete. You
can simulate a global autocomplete by working in the general ledger --
something I do from time to time. I personally would like to see a
global autocomplete but only for certain saved transactions as opposed
to ALL transactions. But, I haven't had time to provide the patches
:).
