does the tab complete feature not work any more in 10.2 terminal if there are more than one possible completions? in 10.1 "myname/M" + tab would inform me that there are two possibilities: "myname/Movies" and "myname/Music". now nothing at all happens. or is there a preference to reestablish that feature which i could not find?

From 'man tcsh'

[quote]
If the autolist shell variable is set, the shell lists the
remaining choices (if any) whenever completion fails:

> set autolist
> nm /usr/lib/libt[tab]
libtermcap.a@ libtermlib.a@
> nm /usr/lib/libterm

If autolist is set to `ambiguous', choices are listed only
when completion fails and adds no new characters to the
word being completed.

Type 'set' in Terminal .. I have "autolist" and with 10.2.3, when I type 'mp[tab]' I get

mp mp2enc mpeg2enc mpla2 mpla3
