Thanks Paul rehash fixed my problems with it not showing up (I've never had
to use rehash before). I was actually getting a list of tables with show
tables, now the only thing that doesn't work is the two worded commands
where one word is common to multiple commands (eg show tables, show
database etc completes the show but then thinks that it is the start of
another separate command for the next word - and tables or database aren't
commands), but I guess that's a reasonable thing because there might be
times when that behaviour is needed.
cheers,
