How do I get that handy “tab thing” to work in the UNIX shell, so that I don have to type out long file names?
You need to use the UNIX shell called the “t-shell” (tcsh). To change to this shell permanently for the rest of the quarter, type the UNIX command chsh, with no arguments. The chsh command will prompt you with several choices for your shell. Type in the selection “/bin/tcsh” at the prompt. The next time you login, you will then be using the t-shell, and the tab character can be used for filename completion.
