    _______________________________________________________

Details:

The GUI Editor window can helpfully autocomplete function names.  However, it
doesn't seem to recognize when new functions are added, say when a package is
loaded.

The interpreter, however, does recognize new functions.

As an example, in the Command Window do


pkg load statistics
logn<TAB>
logncdf   logninv   lognpdf   lognrnd   lognstat


But in the Editor Window, typing "log" shows autocompletes from the core like
"log", "log10", "log1p", but typing "logn" shows nothing.
