In GNU Emacs 19.24.1 of Wed Jun  1 1994 on embla.diku.dk (hppa1.1-hp-hpux9)

(The following goes for 19.26 also.)

I have a directory called "~mix/src/hol90/" which contains only
one file, "hol90.6/", except for "." and ".."

When I use TAB to complete "~mix/src/hol90/" in Tcsh or Bash, the
completion "hol90.6/" is added.  This is what I want.

However, in Emacs the completions are simply listed.  This is
useless.
