Try the following:
% set autolist
% set autoexpand
% set autocorrect
% set matchbeep = nomatch
then see if tab completion behaves more like the way you expect it to.
If you like the way that behaves, then add those set commands to
~/.tcshrc inside the 'if ($?prompt) ... endif' block. For details of
what those variables actually do and various other variables you can
use for similar purposes, read tcsh(1).
Cheers,
Matthew
