    Hi,

    on our HP-UX systems we have an auto completion command line by clicking double ESC (Editor = vi Shell = ksh).

    For example:

    cd /ho + Double click ESC

    =

    cd /home
    Is is possible with AIX, too?

    Thans in advance

    Try
    set -o vi
    Then execute
    cd /ho ESC + \
    Works here in Germany too.

    hi,

    auto filename completion works for ksh, no matter what unix flavour.

    set -o vi # ESC+\
    set -o emacs # ESC+ESC

    you can also set the cursor keys, but this is left as an exercise for the google fanboy :)
