Hi, This week I implemented completions for a solid number of built-in commands. I had expected to have lots of trouble with each command having a different format for potential completion options. Thankfully that wasn't the case at all, and only a few commands had edge cases, and none of those commands were general purpose enough for me to consider completions to be essential. I also spent some time looking into getting a proper debugging session going for the UEFI loader though qemu's GDB stub, since "printf" debugging has really started to get on my nerves. I haven't had any luck yet, but I've got a few interesting ideas to look into (storing debug info in a "skeleton" ELF instead of a PE file is my best bet so far). Connor
