Very Computer

Hello.  A friend of mine had a good question, but I had no answer.  
Does anyone know of any published work with UNIX commands tips and tricks
such as the the TAB key for completion of any name(file, directory, etc.)?

Yeah:  man pages.  The "Unix trick" such as filename completion by way
of the tab key is a documented feature of your shell.  Try 'man
<command>' sometime and see what you can find.

You might also try posting in comp.unix.questions, since this has
nothing to do with programming.  Mmmm, actually, first /read/ the
articles in comp.unix.questions, /then/ post; that way you won't ask a
question other people have already answered.  Makes you look stupid.

Luck++;

  You can try "Unix Power Tools" out, it's a very good one.

I second the recommendation for O'Reilly's Unix Power Tools, particularly
if you use the csh for interactive use.  If not, pick up one of their
"Using the x Shell" books, x being whatever shell you use.

Raul:  comp.unix.questions would have a better newsgroup for this question.
