BTW, how does one accomplish file name completion in bash. An ESC
used to do it in ksh, but I haven't been able to do it in bash. I
usually do a C-? to see my options and manually type in the rest
of the stuff. I know there is a bash.dvi available but I don't have
TeX setup yet. If anyone can send me the PS version of the manual,
I would be very grateful.
