Hmm. I downloaded latest source (my Linux Mint uses 4.3.48(1)) and built it. Tried it. And. ... tab on first couple of letters of symlinked directory gives no /, but hitting tab again gives the /. Went back to my local bash and same behaviour. Maybe this is intentional, and knowing the double tab does the job is fine for my uses. Thanks. Off-topic: Dianne. Did you send a proxy for AGM tonight? (Or plan to be there?) Others: Please send proxies to me or Scott or someone going. We don't want to end up without quorum. There are about 170 names on our list, and we need 20 for quorum.
