=== KURLCompletion ===

This is a subclass of 
[http://api.kde.org/3.5-api/kdelibs-apidocs/kdecore/html/classKCompletion.html KCompletion]
and specifically designed to provide automatic completions for URLs. 
It can operate in one of two modes: <tt>ExeCompletion</tt> completes names
of executables by searching them in $PATH (if they are not given as
absolute file names). <tt>FileCompletion</tt> completes generic URLs.
This works even for remote addresses. 

Completion support can easily be added to line edits (derived from
[http://api.kde.org/3.5-api/kdelibs-apidocs/kdeui/html/classKLineEdit.html KLineEdit])
or combo boxes (derived from
[http://api.kde.org/3.5-api/kdelibs-apidocs/kdeui/html/classKComboBox.html KComboBox]):
