korn prompt autocompletion possible ?
My client`s system is an AIX 4.2 and using the Kron shell. I was just wondering if it is possible to have the prompt autocompletion enabled on it without changing shell version.
By autocompletion, I mean to automatically complete the filenames or directories we type in using the Tab key.
