In Emacs V22 it appears that spacebar filename completion has been replaced
by default with the tab key. Now granted that is more like the rest of the
industry, but I've gotten so used to Emacs working this way, plus I am
continually bouncing back and forth between Emacs V22 and Emacs V21 between
machines that I prefer the old style.

Is there anyway to get spacebar filename completion back on V22?
