Hello, When I was using the Csh, I used filename completion a whole lot. Now, I use whenever possible the Ksh because I like it's command line editing features. But I miss the filename completion behaviour of the Csh. When I ask it to complete a filename, it completes by adding ALL files which start with the specified string. What I would like, is for it to complete the name up to the ambiguous part and beep. A command to list all possible completion (like ^d in Csh) would also be nice. Is there a way to configure the Ksh (in A/UX) to have this behaviour? I copied my initialisation files without modifications to an HP9000s800 and HP9000s300 and their Ksh exibited the desired behaviour. I fail to see the reason for such a behaviour. If I want to specify all files that start with "xx", all I have to do is used wildcards. Could someone explain ? Louis PS: l do not have access to Ksh sources to apply a fix. -- | Louis Demers | DREV, Defence Research Establishment,Valcartier | | louis@asterix.drev.dnd.ca | POBox 8800, Courcelette,Quebec, CANADA, G0A 1R0 | | (131.132.48.2) | Office: (418) 844-4424 fax (418) 844-4511 | +---------------------------+-------------------------------------------------+
