I've just tried with a non-existant command, and... $ ls wicd_1.5.4-1_all.deb wicd_1.5.4-1.dsc wicd_1.5.4-1_i386.upload wicd_1.5.4-1.diff.gz wicd_1.5.4-1_i386.changes wicd_1.5.4.orig.tar.gz $ foobar <TAB> wicd_1.5.4-1_all.deb wicd_1.5.4-1_i386.changes wicd_1.5.4-1.diff.gz wicd_1.5.4-1_i386.upload wicd_1.5.4-1.dsc wicd_1.5.4.orig.tar.gz $ foobar wicd_1.5.4 it seems working, really. However, with existing commands it does not work, as you reported. I'll take a look at it, :) Kindly, David -- . ''`.
