Larry didn't address the case of
sh myscript.sh
which doesn't seem to work by default. However, you can tell bash
to expand the arguments to sh as commands by executing
complete -c sh
and then
sh mysc<Tab>
should work. For more on this, see the bash(1) man page, search for
the section on "SHELL BUILTIN COMMANDS" and search from there for
"complete".
