I can't remember what I did to get TAB completion on my Octane Winterm.

I am pretty sure I was advised how to do it here on Irixnet.

Probably modified one of the files somewhere. Need to get that setup for the rest of the drives with Irix on them.

It really depends on what shell you’re using. You find that out with ‘echo $SHELL’. Knowing that, checking the man page on whatever shell will dish out way more info than you ever wanted to know.

I’m not anything close to an expert, but I tried to refresh my memory last night, poking around in IRIX 6.2.
If I am not mistaken (please correct me if I’m wrong), both sh and ksh won’t do it, and csh will do a form of it, but it’s the escape key. Been a while. Tcsh is installed by default on at least 6.2 and 6.5. That does it by default, but can be expanded programmatically, which is kinda cool. Zsh does it by default, and seems to be in at lease 6.2 freeware. Bash, of course will do it, and I think that’s in 6.2 freeware, and possibly installed by default in 6.5.
I use tcsh and zsh under 6.2 for interactive stuff. I was looking through my dot-files to find the setting, but (to my surprise…coulda sworn) it wasn’t there. I don’t even have a .zshrc or .profile, so I know I didn’t change the defaults for zsh. Looking through the man pages for tcsh and zsh indicates it’s a default behavior. The man pages also showed me where my setup’s been lagging. Lol. Got some tinkering to do. Neat! 

sorry, didn’t mean to hijack the thread, btw.
keep up the great work on your videos, Intuition!
