The regular sh shell (which is the Almquist shell) does not have that feature. As it is primarily intended for scripting, and used interactively only in emergency cases (and even there often only to start csh or bash), command completition has probably never been considered for implementation. If you want this feature, just use csh, bash, zsh, ksh, fish, depending on your individual shell preference. See "man 1 sh" and "man 5 editrc" for details. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
