Hm. I just read through our ksh man page, and as a result stopped using
bash, and went back to using ksh.

ksh does filename completion a couple ways... I'm used to using the tab
key in bash, and, sure enough, "set -o vi-tabcomplete" does exactly that,
and in vi mode.

The only thing I'd love to have is for ksh to use the up and down arrows
while in vi mode. They seem natural for command line history, and, more to
the point, they're *not used* at the moment. Maybe I'll dig through the
source this weekend and see if I can wedge that in.
