It's not documented because it's not part of the standard csh.  There
are a several versions of tenex completion and line-editing front-ends
for csh out there.  Ken Greer at HP sent out the first one in Oct
1983.  Paul Placeway sent out a version of a line editor front end
about 2 years ago.  I have another which I wrote because I don't like
Paul's.  I'd distribute it, but I've had problems (political, not
technical) with doing so.

The distributed front-ends of this type for csh have always been
distributed with manual pages of some sort.  If you haven't got such
manual pages around, complain to your sysadmin about it.
