Re: tab completion

[Ben Munat]

None of those commands worked... However, I've also found that echo $SHELL in my regular 
user's terminal says /bin/sh, while as root it says /bin/csh. Both root and the non-root 
user's shells are listed in /etc/passwd as /bin/tcsh, so where else would the shell get 
set? Can I just set all terminals and all users (i.e. me) to have the same shell with the 
same capabilities?

thnx,
b
PS: grrr... bottom posting.

That depends on what shell "the shell" refers to, of course.

Try the following:
    % set autolist
    % set autoexpand
    % set autocorrect
    % set matchbeep = nomatch
then see if tab completion behaves more like the way you expect it to.
If you like the way that behaves, then add those set commands to
~/.tcshrc inside the 'if ($?prompt) ... endif' block.  For details of
what those variables actually do and various other variables you can
use for similar purposes, read tcsh(1).
