Thank you very much for your help! Sorry for the long delay in my answer - i was very busy at work.
I did not have my own .vimrc file: after copying my standard gvimrc the tab completion worked. But the ":e ." to browse the file system still does not work. Tried to install netrw.vim but that resulted in the error "E492: Not an editor command: UseVimball" when :so % sourcing the .vim file. But on the M$ windows machines and on the 6.3 versions on linux ":e ." works out of the box - am I missing here something too? Again lots of thanks for your advice!
