Hi,

   Here is an enhanced version of shell.el which allows file completion a la
tcsh (ie using tab). The change was applied to the 18.58 version of shell.el

It uses the Emacs routines file-name-completion and file-name-all-completions.

Hitting tab indicates either no match, sole completion, completes to the
next possible completion or displays completions before reprompting.

Thanks go to Dominic Prior (dominic@cis.prime.com) for the original ideas.

  "Major mode for interacting with an inferior shell.
Shell name is same as buffer name, sans the asterisks.
Return at end of buffer sends line as input.
Return not at end copies rest of line to end and sends it.

The following commands imitate the usual Unix interrupt and
editing control characters:
\\{shell-mode-map}

Entry to this mode calls the value of shell-mode-hook with no args,
if that value is non-nil.

cd, pushd and popd commands given to the shell are watched
by Emacs to keep this buffer's default directory
the same as the shell's working directory.
Variables shell-cd-regexp, shell-pushd-regexp and shell-popd-regexp
are used to match these command names.

You can send text to the shell (or its subjobs) from other buffers
using the commands process-send-region, process-send-string
and lisp-send-defun."
