How come? The file completion capability is not included in the standard csh supplied with ULTRIX. You must use the csh which appears in "/usr/new" to get this capability, among others. ---------------------------------- David Barrett UUCP: ...!decwrl!riscy.dec.com!dbb Digital Equipment Corporation New York ULTRIX Resource Center INET: dbb%riscy.dec@decwrl.dec.com

That's because /bin/csh from DEC doesn't have the file completion feature.
You have to use /usr/new/csh, which *IS NOT SUPPORTED BY DEC*
