[stuff about file completion deleted]

This has been a feature in certain versions of csh for some years.
Under HP-UX, csh provides completion automatically, and also 
offers a summary of possible completions if you type ctrl-d (it
doesn't seem to be affected by your choice of eof character).
This is similar to the ESC-ESC and ESC-= completion options in
ksh, and can be used as a way to have a quick look around directories
without the need to actually go there.
