DrScheme doesn't auto-complete.  Auto-completion is
non-trivial due to macros.  Macros can introduce new names
into a program, and hence macro expansion is necessary to
determine all the available names for auto-completion to
work correctly.  The 'Check Syntax' button already does
something similar so I think most of the work has been
done, but given the many demands on the time of the PLT
members I suspect simply no-one has had the time to
implement this feature.
