Very Computer

Could someone tell me why I can't complete the file name that
I want to type by hitting the "ESC" under linux?  Is there a
special program/setup that I need to enable/run.  Sorry if this
is a trivial faq question.

You don't mention what shell you are using but if it's tcsh then it
should do it when you press the Tab key. In csh you had to set a variable
called filec in $HOME/.cshrc.

I don't know how to do it ksh, but as my version of ksh I got with Slackware
is *very* flakey I don't use it.

Hope this helps,
