I was quite resigned to living with it. But one day I cleaned up my .login file and the problem went away. It turns out that when you invoke bash, the variable "EMACS" must *not* be set. If it is, bash thinks that it is running within Emacs or something and does wierd things, the bad file completion being one result. -- Sao Khai Mong: Applied Dynamics, 3800 Stone School Road, Ann Arbor, Mi48108 (313)973-1300 (uunet|sharkey)!amara!khai khai%amara.uucp@mailgw.cc.umich.edu
