Rubbish on filename completion too. C:\Users\andrewm>dir Doc[tab] .... gives you C:\Users\andrewm>dir Documents And if there are other matches, then repeatedly tabbing gives the other options. If you create three directories, such as aaa, aab and aac, then you can type "cd aa" and repeatedly hit tab and it will cycle through those names (plus any others that might start with aa).
