[rescue] ksh q...

[Scotty Logan]

Not quite the answer you're looking for, but all the ksh's I've found
(AIX, Solaris, HP, Linux) support ESC-= to list all possible completions
and ESC-ESC to complete the path:

	% ksh
	$ ls /usr/lo[ESC][=]
	1) local/
	2) lost+found/
	$ ls /usr/loc[ESC][ESC]
	$ ls /usr/local/

Not quite TAB completion, but better than nothing.

Apparently the newer ksh from AT&T (ksh93?) has TAB completion support.
