The C shell

1. Use file completion when possible. When you have a filename partially typed in, esc will cause the machine to finish the filename for you if it unique, and beep if it is not.

   On most machines (except DYNIX), file completion can be turned on by typing: set filec.

   On some systems, file completion can be turned on by typing: set complete

   On machines which do not have file completion in the C shell, you will need to use an alternative shell like bash.

2. Use file listing. When you have a command/filename partially typed in, typing: ctrl-d

   Will cause the machine to list all the commands/files which could complete the string you have typed in.

3. Additional features Here is a list of additional C shell features; this list is not exhaustive. For a more in-depth treatment, see the man page on the C shell.
