From the csh manual page:
FILENAME COMPLETION
     When the filename completion feature is enabled by setting the shell
     variable filec (see set), csh interactively completes filenames and
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    usernames from unique prefixes, when they are input from the terminal
     followed by the escape character (the escape key, or CTRL/L).  For
     example, if the current directory looks like

               DSC.OLD   bin       cmd       lib       xmpl.c
               DSC.NEW   chaosnet  cmtest    mail      xmpl.o
               bench     class     dev       mbox      xmpl.out

Just execute the command
set filec 
in your ~/.cshrc file.

				Hope this helps,
