Basically <SPACE><^D> will cause the Cshell to print a list of all commands
currently available. If you do d<^D> you will get a list of all commands
beginning with a 'd', and so on. I think you need 'set filec' for this to
work properly.
I am surprised you didn't get this to work on a Sun: I have got it working under
SunOs 3.1,4.0.1 and 4.1
