- filename completion is not "done in UNIX" .. its done in the shell you
- run (sorry if this sounds like nit-picking :-).

- in UNIX using sh you don't have filename completion, but using csh,
- zsh etc do.

- similarly in OS/2 the standard shell CMD.EXE doesn't have filename
- completion, but another one 4OS2.EXE does.
