Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Using the Esc key to complete command line typing Post 302120324 by reborg on Tuesday 5th of June 2007 06:04:41 PM

I'm guessing you were using the csh shell, and filec was set, if you want that then thye "csh" followed by "set filec" and it should work. On the other have you might be better advised to use bash or even tcsh, and use the <tab> key for autocomplete, I would normally have also said ksh, but I think in this case the bash or tcsh approach would be better.
