It's been pointed out to me that this is part of the C-shell's file
name completion feature.  When I rlogin to my NeXT, the shell I get
always acts as if the shell variable "filec" is set, whether or not
it is.  In addition, it will interpret ^D as a request for file name
completion even at the beginning of a line.  In shells I get directly
through executing "Terminal", file name completion is accomplished only
if "filec" is set, and never at the beginning of a line.
