Thanks everyone for the info about tab completion. I've used that from time to time myself but this is getting away from my original message. I get 'tab completion' when I use the Esc key. I'm happy to leave tab completion bound to the tab key but how do I turn this off when using the Esc key? This screws up my Emacs-mode command editing when I use an Esc-<key> twice. This results in a tab completion spitting out all available commands. I don't want to use a different shell. Thanks, kent
