- Mush is a shell, like tcsh, so when mush is running, tcsh is politely
- waiting for mush to be finished using your terminal. So your tcsh

- The default completion character is escape, but you can change it to
- tab with:
-
- set complete = '\t\CD' # \t == tab, \CD == ctrl-D
-
- If you set complete like this:
-
- set complete = '\t\t'
-
- Then when you press tab, if the completion is unique, the name will
- be filled in, but if the completion matches a list of file names, the
- list will be displayed automatically (as if you had typed ctrl-D).
