you can define your own custom completion function which can take care of
removing the paths, e.g.:

let s:CompletionPath = ''

function! CompleteFromPath(ArgLead, CmdLine, CursorPos)
let files = split(glob(s:CompletionPath . '*'), "\n")
call map(files, 'substitute(v:val, ".*/", "", "")')
return join(files, "\n")
endfunction

function! VS()
let s:CompletionPath = '~/public_html/jeditux.home/vim_sessions/'
let ans = input('Session name: ', '', 'custom,CompleteFromPath')
execute ':source ' . s:CompletionPath . ans
endfunction

Regards,
Jürgen
