Simply put - I LOVE ksh. Anyone that has ever had to write shell scripts
in csh and had to explicitly unset every variable after they were done with
it knows what I mean, BUT!! csh had the easiest filename completion that I've
ever tried. Simply "set filec" then <ESC> would attempt to complete any file
that you began to type. Now as far as I know, the way to use filename
completion in ksh is to use <CTRL-8>. That has not, to this day, worked...
ever! A bunch of garbage that contains some remnants of part of the filename
shows up, but that's it. It is NOT usable.
Soooo...what am I doing wrong? I believe I have to ksh that came with the
FIXDISK_2.0 stuff. I've heard reports that this ksh sucks. What's the scoop?
Will the ksh on the STORE fix my problem?
TIA,
