-= Original Problem =-
-====================-
I'm not sure if the term 'command completion' is correct. What I'd like
(and used to have) was to type (say)
ls /tmp/ger
then <esc><esc>
and the shell would expand to
ls /tmp/gertrude
Any idea if there is a command to do this in ksh ?

-= Solution =-
-============-
Basically the solution was to
set -o emacs or
export EDITOR=emacs or
export VISUAL=emacs
This is great - however I prefer to use vi :) I can remember at the last place that I was
at, I had the functionality of the 'vi' command line, yet also the <esc><esc>. Truely a
mystery.
