(For example, you can store values in an array, and have those substituted on the command line.) There's filename expansion too, of course. It's been awhile since I looked at the man page, but I think you can even view and set shell options based on pattern matching. You can view aliases with pattern matching. Essentially, I'm saying that if you simply want all possible completions returned, there are (often, not always) other shell mechanisms to perform this for you. Hope this helps (a little). - Larry On Mon, Jul 19, 1999 at 11:30:13AM -0700, Danek Duvall wrote: > Is there a simple way to insert all the possible completions into the > current commandline?
