Running Bash 1.04 on SCO Xenix 2.3.2 (Step/25 i386 box). We have installed XenixNet on this system which basically means that the kernal knows that the syntax //hostname/foo/bar refers to /foo/bar on host named hostname. The problem is that bash will not dynamically complete files that use this syntax. "ls //foo/M-?" should yield the names of files across the net on machine foo. On the other hand, "echo //foo/*" works. Does anyone know of a fix for this? I know the XenixNet nomenclature is a hack... ---Kayvan
