Hi,
        I learned this little trick right here. If you are typing a long file name, 
just type in the first three or four letters, then hit the <Esc> key twice. 
Autocomplete fills in the rest. If there are two or more files with the same 
name up to a point (ie: different versions) the autocomplete will fill in the 
name to the point where you have to make a choice between the different files.
        This list is a real learning experience!
