What you are doing with this key (function)?
(just in case you are trying to use bash's auto-complete without bash ...)

It sounds to me that you are attempting to use the "auto-complete" however if you are in the sh, ksh shells, it will not work. You must be in bash. try typing bash at the prompt , then try to use "tabulation"

This is of course assuming the bash shell is available on your machine

>the tabulation key

(I've never heard it called that, it's just the TAB key.)

>Adam: It sounds to me that you are attempting to use the "auto-complete"

If that's the case, go into vi and in insert mode, type several TABs. If the cursor advances, the TAB key works.
