Whenever I type the <ESC> character to instuct csh to perform file name completion, it echoes some garbage on the screen ( actually "^[ " ) but performs the completion correctly. E.g., if the complete name is "filename" and <ESC> was typed after the "file" prefix, it will echo as "file^[ name". As far as I can tell, it is the "pass8" feature of the tty which is not disabled (although stty shows it is), because when I capture the echoed output I see the backspace (^H) is sent as an 8-bit char rather than 7 (i.e., 0210 instead of 010). Any help, please?
