Hi Jude,

Are you using both upper and lower case letters when you type? Since
Unix is case sensitive, when you use terminal the file names and paths
that you tab complete should also match case.  For example, if I want
to change directory to my Desktop, I need to start typing Desktop with
a capital "D" for tab completion to work, since there is no folder there 
named "desktop"  (beginning with a lower case "d").  However, typing

cd De    [and then pressing the tab key] would produce a command like

cd Desktop

on my computer under terminal.  

HTH

Cheers,

Esther
