kevin   Baud: there's tab completion?
Baud    kevin: yup.. can't remember the setting.. you change a value in the
        registry to the hex value of the key you want to use
pron    kevin: What version of windows ?
kevin   pron: um... i think t's w2k professonal?
pron    Now you can enable this feature in NT by doing the following: open
        regedit and look for the key
        "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor", look for the
        value named "CompletionChar" and change its value to 9 (ASCII code for
        the TAB character), and you're done! That's all there is to it.
pron    That's for NT ... so should work in 2k
