  I suspect file name completion might be one of those "advanced
features" one has to give up when you go back to the bad-old-days of
high-latency links and local editing.

  The answer to that problem is "Don't do that anyway".  As Bill McG
said, they don't work well over truly high latency links, and I can
confirm.  Running even "vi" over such is painful.

  For editing files, I often resorted to SCP'ing to local, editing
locally, and then SCP'ing back.
