So I checked your branch on my laptop right now, it doesn't throw an error anymore. Just want to make sure, that the following behaviour is what you wanted to achieve. gap> G := SymmetricGroup( 3 );;
gap> G.test.Pressing tab yields a list of all available commands: *

@FriedrichRober thank you for the testing and feedback! Yes, this is intended behavior for now -- it just matches how GAP behaved in similar cases for years: when GAP has no matches to offer, it just suggest any identifier used as a record entry name. Of course that's not very helpful if you start with just say |
