With csh on Suns, just set filec and ESC and ^D work as described above
for filename completion.  I heartily agree with Paul.  Though initially
unimpressed,  I now find it a very valuable feature after getting
accustomed to hitting ESC.  The ^D is like an ls in the middle of
typing some command.  It's sorely missed in other versions of csh.

What's the command line edit capability of the ULTRIX csh?
