Is it safe to assume that the fs API is defined the Java end of ComputerCraft? I have been looking around in the Lua files for it, but I have been unsuccessful.
I was hoping to be able to back-port the auto-complete functions of modern CC back to earlier versions, but if fs.complete is defined in Java I am not sure it is possible without re-writing it.

the fs api is made in java. but fs.complete is just a specialized version of the "original" complete function (not sure what it was) i believe.

Might you mean textutils.complete? That is the only one I have found so far in the Lua other than shell.complete which depends on fs.complete.

you may find parts of the fs api in bios.lua, but most of it will be in java

Ha ha! Thank you! fs.complete is defined within bios.lua!

Now I just need to make it all work as intended...

FWIW, here's a clone of fs.find() I scribbled out some time ago.

Ok, all is good now. The functions have been back-ported.
In case anyone wants to try it, more info here:
