- 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

- TeX setup yet. If anyone can send me the PS version of the manual,
- I would be very grateful.
