The little-thing you want, ie. C-shell command completion, conflicts
with the DM's cook-mode input. Cooked-mode (the default input mode)
gives you the ability to edit your input pad prior to pressing the
"return" key -- the application program only sees the input when you
have sent a complete line. Command completion requires that the application
(in this case, the C-shell) sees the input character-by-character as it
is typed. This is the DM's raw-mode. /com/emt, the Apollo vt100 emuluator
(/com/vt100), and X applications like xterm run in this mode. The Aegis
pad_$raw and pad_$cooked calls can be used to toggle a DM window from
cooked-mode input to raw-mode and vice versa.
