If you can handle about 30K (total) you could have WShell/ConMan and
get file completion.  In fact, you will get the most powerful file
completion ever made for any shell.  Plus, WShell has many other
great features.  For $50 LIST PRICE (discounted to much less) you get
a great product that is well supported.

PS - I am only a *VERY* satisfied WShell and ARexx user.  (WShell is
     by the same William S Hawes that wrote ARexx and WShell has
     major ARexx hooks...)
