That was precicesly my issue. Thank you very much, both issues (tab complete and dup > entries) are resolved!
FYI, I'm just trying to have a prompt that says: [EMAIL PROTECTED] workingdir> this is because i login to multiple machines and use tabbed windows (available within mrxvt) to do this. i find having this prompt makes it quite easy to keep track of what env i'm logged into and where i'm at. Have a great day!!
