Yes, it's probably the only thing people who don't yet know how to install a new shell are likely to miss from any of the more complicated shells (even NT's shell does command completion if you know the right magic). It would be nice if this could be hooked through histedit or at least made to work the same as in ftp (the main point being, either with or without trailing / for directories but congruent between the two; for example bash uses / but ftp doesn't, and that's annoying). imho it would also be nice to see some editing and completion capabilities added to samba's smbclient, but I guess this is the wrong place for that :) It seems to me that more useful ideas are coming out for X desktops now that people know that their contributions aren't just going to help someone else win a prize!
