So is there a metacharacter that expands to the result of the inte > lligent completion? You can force the shell to use globbing characters to match the results of completions by setting "setopt globcomplete". Depending how completion is set up, the shell may decided to perform expansion instead if there are files that match. For example, "cvs c*t" might offer "commit" or "checkout", but if there is a file config.txt you could get that instead. It's possible to configure the shell not to do expansion, or alternatively to use different keystrokes to do expansion and completion. pws ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
