Yeah, but it don't work! My apollos running SR10.2 and BSD4.3
won't complete file names properly either. From the console,
they just ignore ESC or ^L or whatever. From a dial-up vt100
terminal, they'll complete the name, but overwrite part of the
command line in the process (faulty termcap?).

So I'm askin' too: What gives?
