Probably what you want to use is <ESC> \. Also, if you enter <ESC> =
you'll get a list of filenames that match the pattern. So in Edward's
example, typing:
$vi /u/lvc/p<ESC>=
gives you:
1) psycho
2) psyllium
$ vi /u/lvc/p_

This brings up the question of what the numbers are for.
Can I get ksh to expand to a particular match by somehow using
its number ?
If the numbers cannot be used for anything why are they there ?
