Freebsd 4.8 Command to finish typing

2003-10-23 Thread DanB 
How do you have Freebsd 4.8 finish typing a line? On older version I
just type Ma and escape to finish typing Make.

Under csh, you can type CTRL-D

That depends on your shell. You're probably used to a bourne-shell variant
like ksh, where ESC is used for word completion. In csh, use the TAB
key.

And note this is not line completion but file name completion
- it will fill in as much as uniquely possible of the path starting
with what you have already typed.

 If the command is in your history, arrow-up does line completion
(csh).
