This is a feature 8-) of the filename completion in 4.3BSD and similar OS's.
A ^D lists the current directory, a net^D lists all files in the current
directory that start with net, and so on.  The csh(1) man page covers this
in good detail (on my 4.3 machine; don't have my cube yet, so I can't say..).
