     Emacs Editing Mode

     The notation for escape sequences is M- followed by a char-
     acter.  For example, M-f (pronounced Meta f) is entered by
     depressing ESC (ascii 033) followed by `f'.  (M-F would be
     the notation for ESC followed by `SHIFT' (capital) `F'.)

     M-*       Attempt file name generation on the current word.
               An asterisk is appended if the word doesn't match
               any file or contain any special pattern charac-
               ters.
     M-ESC     File name completion.  Replaces the current word
               with the longest common prefix of all filenames
               matching the current word with an asterisk
               appended.  If the match is unique, a / is appended
               if the file is a directory and a space is appended
               if the file is not a directory.
     M-=       List files matching current word pattern if an
               asterisk were appended.

          Text Modification Edit Commands
          These commands will modify the line.

          *         Causes an * to be appended to the current
                    word and file name generation attempted.  If
                    no match is found, it rings the bell.  Other-
                    wise, the word is replaced by the matching
                    pattern and input mode is entered.
          \         Filename completion.  Replaces the current
                    word with the longest common prefix of all
                    filenames matching the current word with an
                    asterisk appended.  If the match is unique, a
                    / is appended if the file is a directory and
                    a space is appended if the file is not a
                    directory.

          =         List the file names that match the current
                    word if an asterisk were appended it.

All the vi inputline editing commands mentioned work only in command
mode, of course.

Another case of RTFM, so I guess you don't have them, poor sod. ;-)

Good luck!
