With csh on Suns, just set filec and ESC and ^D work as described above
for filename completion. I heartily agree with Paul. Though initially
unimpressed, I now find it a very valuable feature after getting
accustomed to hitting ESC. The ^D is like an ls in the middle of
typing some command. It's sorely missed in other versions of csh.
What's the command line edit capability of the ULTRIX csh?
