CPU & Memory Completing Command Entry without Typing

Hi,

In my UNIX (KSH) sytem, in order to Complete Command Entry without Typing the whole path or name, I have to use ESC+\ where as I am used to press TAB key to do the same. Can anyone tell me where we need to change the settings of the keyboard combination so that when I press TAB key the file name is displayed??

Example as how it works now:
>ls
>file.txt apple.txt
>view app[ESC pressed then "\" pressed]
>> view apple.txt

Example as how i need it to work
>ls
>file.txt apple.txt
>view app[TAB key pressed]
>> view apple.txt

Regards
JS

Gnome2::GConf::Entry(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				 Gnome2::GConf::Entry(3pm)

NAME
Gnome2::GConf::Entry - Container Objects for key/value pairs SYNOPSIS
$client = Gnome2::GConf::Client->get_default; $client->notify_add($config_key, sub { my ($client, $cnxn_id, $entry) = @_; return unless $entry; unless ($entry->{value}) { $label->set_text(''); } elsif ($entry->{value}->{type} eq 'string') { $label->set_text($entry->{value}->{value}); } else { $label->set_text('!type error!'); } }); DESCRIPTION
In C, "GConfEntry" is a opaque container for the key string and for the "GConfValue" bound to that key. In perl, it's a blessed reference to Gnome2::GConf::Entry, holding these keys: key The key that is being monitored. value An hashref, representing a "GConfValue" (see Gnome2::GConf::Value), which contains the type and the value of the key; it may be undef if the key has been unset. Every method of the C API is replaced by standard perl functions that operate on hashrefs. is_default Whether the Gnome2::GConf::Value held by this entry is the default value provided by the schema attached to the key. is_writable Whether the key is stored in a writable source inside the GConf database. schema_name The name of the schema key bound to this key.
