That was precicesly my issue.  Thank you very much, both issues (tab
complete and dup > entries) are resolved!

FYI, I'm just trying to have a prompt that says:

username AT hostname workingdir>

this is because i login to multiple machines and use tabbed windows
(available within mrxvt) to do this.  i find having this prompt makes
it quite easy to keep track of what env i'm logged into and where i'm
at.


Have a great day!!
