+#+TITLE: Another way to get a selection
+#+DATE: 2012-05-03 10:04:00
+#+TAGS: emacs elisp org-mode coding
+
+When I was first looking into improving my mailbox selection function
+I was looking at how to just ask the user for input with completions.
+Though now that I came across ~tmm-prompt~ I really prefer this way of
+working, at least in this case.
+
+However, today another function was mentioned, in response to someone
+pointing out ~org-completing-read~: ~completing-read~.  Wow that's a far
+leap.
+
+Anyway:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
+  (completing-read "Your favorite color: "
+                   '("red" "green" "blue" "yellow"))
+#+END_SRC
+
+This will ask for user input and provide these options as completions,
+but it won't show a list of options, of provide shortcuts, like
+~tmm-prompt~ does.
+
+It's good to know these things, and I really should read both the
+emacs manual and the emacs lisp reference manual at some point.
