The file name and command completion and autologout code
were all in my original Csh mods.  I called it tcsh at HP Labs.
After posting, the mods magically appeared all over the place, one being
in /usr/new/newcsh on SUN-3's.  It now appears that newcsh is honest to
god /bin/csh on SPARCstation 1's.  You have to do a "set filec", though,
to make file name completion work.
