Install "bash" on your machine.

You can get it for hpux here

Hi,

You can take a look at:

It also includes bash.

In korn shell,

Esc \ (Escape key and backslash) do file name completion.

Also
Esc =
Esc n (n is the number)

works.

Make sure you have "set -o vi" set on your korn shell.

By the way,

I just noticed that esc-esc works in Red Hat 9. I know you want to use TAB everywhere, but maybe you can use esc-esc everywhere.

By the way, you found a way to make your arrow-keys working on HP-UX too, for command history? (Setting EDITOR=emacs and something else?)
