Filename Completion
When you have the command "set filec" in your
'.cshrc' file, the shell can complete the
partially typed name of a file or user name. When you type the first
few unique characters of a file name and then press [ESCAPE], the
system will complete the filename for you. If it is not clear which
file you want (the first few characters you typed are not unique to one
filename), the terminal will beep at you.
If the partial filename is followed by [CTRL-D], the shell will list
all the matching filenames. It will then prompt you again, retyping the
command line as you have typed it so far.
