	Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzztt. But thank you for playing...

	ksh has had completion for quite a few revs, under vi mode
	type ESC followed by either an * or an = over the string
	you want completed.

	Admittedly, the completion is different from classic csh and
	tcsh completion and requires an extra keystoke or so. But,
	comming from a System V background and oodles of Bourne shell
	scripts, there's no real good reason not to use ksh.

	Comming from the BSD relm I could understand strong resistance
	to anything not csh based.
