Win2k actually does have tab completion but it doesnīt work that well as in
linux and only on files and directories.
Just to finish off this thread, it really isnīt Linux related but since I
use Win2k as well as linux at work I missed the completion in windows and
found a way.
Start regedit ->
HKEY_CURRENT_USER->SOFTWARE->MICROSOFT->Command Processor
There you will find a label, "CompletionChar" (if not create it)
Just enter the DWORD value 9 for TAB and there you have it.
Be sure to use the CMD shell and not Command, for some obscure reason.
It is supposed to work for NT4 aswell, havenīt tested it though.
