file completion

[esromneb]

Is there a way to turn on file completion using bash. My step dad useses C shell on his computer and he can just type in the first 3 letters of a file name and press 'esc' and it fills it in for him. Does bash support this? Thx.

I'm betting that was a TGML'ized {TAB} key ;-)

TAB does the autocompletion in bash --
