In the "Other Edit Commands" section of the "Vi Editing Mode" section
(on page 23 of my man page):

	=	List the filenames that match the current
		word if an asterisk were appended to it.

If your are typing a command and you forget the exact spelling of a
filename, you can use this to see it without losing what you've typed
so far.  I haven't used this feature of ksh very much myself, but its
nice to have around.
