Here is a pointer to a commercial program: FComp
FComp comes with the latest version of William Hawes shell WShell. FComp is a
freestanding program (i.e. it is not part of the shell). I use it and am very
pleased with it. It has lots of features, many of which I have not seen
anywhere else (even under UNIX).

You can order WShell from
	William S. Hawes
	P.O. Box 308
	Maynard, MA 01754-0308
	USA
I'm not sure about the current price but it is probably about $60.
If you get WShell it is also a good idea to get ARexx. Same address,
same price level.

FComp takes care of the file name completion. ConMan takes care of the line
editing and command history. WShell takes care of the classic shell
functions. ARexx adds an extension language.
