I have a minor gripe with 4dos. The file completion feature is nice (F9), but
if more than one file matches the string you are trying to complete, it
completes to one of the files. If that isn't the one you want, you must re-edit
the line.

A better behavior, like used on most UNIX shells with this feature, is to
complete up to the first non-common character and beep, or flash the screen.
This allows the user to enter more characters to further identify it.
