Greetings...

I'm not sure if this should be considered a bug:

I have a environment variable, say $ULB, which stands for /usr/local/bin
I can then use it in commands like
$ ls -lga $ULG/make
However if I 
$ ls -lga $ULG/ma<TAB> 
completion will not work.  Considering that the command gets interpreted 
properly I believe that completion should work.  In fact I modified the
source for tcsh to do just that.  I will probably modify the source for 
bash to do the same thing.  However I think that it would be worthwhile 
to add this to the 'official' releases of bash. 
Any thoughts on this?

							Mike
