Tab-completion

[John B. Thoo]

Hi.  I have a question about Tab-completion.  I'm using Octave 3.2.2  
on Mac OS X 10.4.11.

If I want to drill down to the folder

  ~/Desktop/NumMethPractice/

for example, in Octave I type

octave-3.2.2:1> cd ~/Des

and press Tab to complete the name:

octave-3.2.2:1> cd ~/Desktop/

But if I continue now to type

octave-3.2.2:1> cd ~/Desktop/Num

then press Tab to complete the name, nothing happens.  Instead I have  
to go to a new line and type

octave-3.2.2:2> cd Num

and now pressing Tab completes the name to give

octave-3.2.2:2> cd NumMethPractice/

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.
