Hi, big guys, I'm new to AIX, just wondering how I can get the auto
completion on ksh commands done like Esc+\ in Solaris and HP, I've run
"set -o vi", but this seems not working on AIX 4.3, anybody can tell me how
to do that? Thanks a lot.

Try "set -o emacs", then auto completion works with ESC ESC. Or install bash
:)

try '<escape> *'. Here is an example

$cd /etc
$ls -al p<escape>*

This will expand all matching files, so it is not exactly the same as <tab> in
bash

I don't know why you are having problems (as long as you are talking about
filename completion). KSH on AIX with "set -o vi" works the same with
ESC \.

Now if you are really talking about COMMAND completion KSH doesn't support
true command completion. This is where if you were to type "wr" for the
command then ESC \ it would search your path for a command with "wr" and
complete it if it can "write".

Not sure why it is not working for you.
Works for me using AIX 4.2.1.
