Re: tab completion and readline

[David M Rector]

Thanks for your help,

Yes, readline is found during configure. In fact, readline does work, 
but only for internal octave functions and variables, and never for 
directory and filename completions. I am hoping to find a switch or 
configuration option that activates directory and filename completions.

Thanks again.
