The solution is for readline completion to refrain from appending the slash when complieting tto the name of a directory. The next TAB should put the slash in, and another TAB should complete names within the directory (only succesful if there is only one file in the directory). In other words, if I have directory foo and file foo/bar (and nothing else in foo), the following happens: type f o TAB see `foo' type TAB see `foo/' type TAB see `foo/bar' Alternatively, the second TAB could be unnecessary. I don't think I like that, however. -mib
