Hello,

I think tab completion in eshell is not very practical: Suppose you
have two files, say

test.html
test2.html

and you type 

rm teTAB

then eshell completes to 'test2.html', instead of completing to 'test'
and displaying the possibilities. Because of this behaviour I have
already deleted a lot of files that I didn't want to delete.

How can I change this behaviour?

Simon
