In article <ABREU.92Apr5184709@ionie.inria.fr> abreu@ionie.inria.fr (Salvador Abreu) responds: don't use TAB when you don't want completion, use M-TAB (ESC-TAB if you lack a Meta key). it'll insert a plain TAB character. Or, better yet, modify your .inputrc so that file-completion is bound to some other key (like M-i), and make the tab key insert what it's SUPPOSED to insert. grumble mucking with my keys....grumble grumble.... -- Bill Trost <trost@reed.edu> Space is nature's way of keeping everything from Reed College Systems Manager happening all together.
