I have been looking for either a replacement shell, or a program which will run
overtop of the existing 'AShell' and give me filename completion as implemented
in the Unix TShell.

Is there such a beast?

For those of you who don't have the wonderful Tshell on your system:
If I have several files in my directory:
Foo	foo	cab	bozo	itzy
etc...
I can type:
>more F(tab)
and it will automatically fill it in for me:
>more Foo

Also helpful would be command line spell checking (also a tshell feature)

PD
