This looks like there is some mouse-based completion package kicking
in. I have no idea what. efs would only open an FTP connection if
some other program asked it for a list of files on that host, or
called expand-file-name. I can't test this as I don't run XEmacs.
Andy, Chipsy does this happen for you?
