The tab-completion seems to work differently (and less desirably)
in KSH than it does in BASH.

For example, the following is just not possible with tab-completion
in KSH:

$ grep '<tab>

This results in a BEL sounded (expected) and the single-quote (apostrophe)
being erased (unexpected).  Even if there are no matching files (which
there is not), why is the single-quote character erased?

When using BASH, results are more what one would expect; namely the above
results in a BEL sounded but the apostrophe character remains.  The same
occurs with the double-quote character.  KSH erases the double-quote on
completion failure while BASH retains it.

It the KSH behavior some sort of feature?

Also, Is there a way that tab-completion can be turned OFF entirely?

Thanks for any information.
