Good call Stephen.  I just tried:

$if Bash
"?": "\C-i"
$endif

And now I get the following:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] set <1st ?>
cluster     firewall    interfaces  policy      protocols   service
system      vpn
[edit]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] set <2nd ?>
Possible completions:
  cluster       Configure clustering
  firewall      Configure firewall
  interfaces    Network interface configuration
  policy        Configure routing policy
  protocols     Routing protocol configuration
  service       Service configuration
  system        System configuration
  vpn           Configure VPN


Maybe we won't have to give up the "?".
