Hello.

I just looked at what bash 2.03 does on Debian GNU/Linux 2.2.r2.
It appears I may be confused by tcsh's tab-completion behaviour
on environment variables. Say $VAR contains a path. $VAR<tab>
will expand to '<contents of $VAR>/' on tcsh, but bash gives
you '$VAR '. To tab-complete a path with bash, I need to use
'$VAR<tab><backspace>/<tab>'.

While tcsh's behaviour is useful for lazy people like me 8),
bash's behaviour seems more sane. 

I apologise for the confusion. I've been using tcsh on Solaris
& Debian at work more than I've been using bash.

Bye, Rich =]
