Hi,

My experiments suggest both these contentions are correct, depending on how 
one interprets them.

If I type this:
         ls -l /cygdr<TAB>

or this:
         ls -l /cygdr<ALT-*>

(same as this:)
         ls -l /cygdr<ALT-SHIFT-8>

There are no completions. The same goes for "/pro" in place of "/cygdr".

However, doing this:

         ls -l /cygdrive/<ALT-*>

I get a listing of all my drives (modulo the bug the causes my C: drive to 
be omitted from /cygdrive). Likewise, this works for "/proc".
