- The addendum for 2.1 mentions that filename completion over files with
- special chars in them has been improved:
-
- >>File completion enhanced
- >>
- >> There is a minor enhancement to filename completion in SKsh
- >> 2.1. SKsh 2.0 backslash escaped spaces and some special
- >> characters during filename completion. SKsh 2.1
- >> understands a larger set of these special characters which
- >> would otherwise cause parameter breaks.

- It seems to "backslash escape" spaces ok, but having done so, it doesn't
- seem to wish to look further. For example, I have the following
- directory:
-
- Digi-View 4.0>pwd
- Workbench:Multimedia/Digi-View 4.0
- Digi-View 4.0>ls -ld frank
- frank ----rwed <Dir> 23-Dec-92 15:12:07
- Digi-View 4.0>
- Digi-View 4.0>cd ..
- Multimedia>ls -ld Digi-View\ 4.0/fra<hit TAB here>
-
- When I hit TAB, I get the beep/flash (thanks to the great new +B option).
- If I hit ESC=, it indicates it has no files to offer me.
-
- I can't remember now whether it behaved this way under 2.0 or not.
- Anyone got any ideas?
