Whenever I have to navigate around in DOS, I'm always hitting tab try to
complete commands. I love the filename completion *feature*

It's a feature of bash, as has been mentioned. According to the bash
manpage, you can get rid of it by adding a line "set disable-completion
on" in your /etc
Me neither. It's a pain in the arse to have to go back to a Windows box
and use the feature-void dos command shell.

Thanks everyone for the info about tab completion. I've used that from
time to time myself but this is getting away from my original message.
I get 'tab completion' when I use the Esc key. I'm happy to leave tab
completion bound to the tab key but how do I turn this off when using
the Esc key?

Try typing part of a command, then pressing once (without any
spaces). For example:
$ apro
The shell (Bash) will attempt word completion. (In the above example,
my system completes the word 'ap
Well, for me, I cannot live without this feature.

Hi,
As I understand bash,
'exim' will attempt to complete an argument to exim (with
the files in your pwd).
'exim' will attempt to complete a command (in
your $PATH) beginning with 'exim'.

It's not a bug, its a feature.
It's called command completion. The (bash) shell is trying to help you
out by finishing off your typing for you.
If you don't like it, use a different shell. Zsh has command completion
as well, but pressing does nothing. I think the equivalent
for zsh is ctrl-d. I

When I tried 'exim ' the output listed 156 files in my home
directory. This is different than the output that you got. Am I
experiencing a bug? I'm using Bash for the shell. The Bash man page is
large and I may have missed a reference to this function but
I didn't see anything listed under "co

The shell, IIRC. Kent, have you tried something like this?
exim yields, for example:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~} exim
exim exim_dumpdbexim_lock e
If you hit the tab key twice in a row it lists all available commands.
This seems like a useless thing because I see no way of sending the
output to 'less' and most of the 1917 possibilities scroll off the
screen. Anyway my problem is I get the same result if I hit the Esc key
twice. I'm learnin
