Bug TAB : Auto-Fill Issue
Dear Forum Members,

We use TAB to Auto-Fill the file/directory names starting with that alphabet(s). My TAB Auto-Fills when there is no other file/directory starting with that alphabet(s). My issue is, when there is more than one match, hitting TAB "twice", does not list file/directory names starting with that alphabet(s) so that I can type few more characters to get file/directory name that I want. Should I add anything to .cshrc so that hitting TAB "twice", will list file/directory names? Mine is C-Shell.

Thanks,
Venu.

locale::maketext::lexicon::auto

Locale::Maketext::Lexicon::Auto(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation		      Locale::Maketext::Lexicon::Auto(3pm)

NAME

       Locale::Maketext::Lexicon::Auto - Auto fallback lexicon for Maketext

SYNOPSIS

	   package Hello::I18N;
	   use base 'Locale::Maketext';
	   use Locale::Maketext::Lexicon {
	       en => ['Auto'],
	       # ... other languages
	   };

DESCRIPTION

       This module builds a simple Lexicon hash that contains nothing but "( '_AUTO' => 1)", which tells "Locale::Maketext" that no localizing is
       needed -- just use the lookup key as the returned string.

       It is especially useful if you're starting to prototype a program, and do not want to deal with the localization files yet.

CAVEATS

       If the key to "->maketext" begins with a "_", "Locale::Maketext" will still throw an exception.	See "CONTROLLING LOOKUP FAILURE" in
       Locale::Maketext for how to prevent it.
