Auto-Complete Doesn't Work For Files?

[Jonathan McLoughlin]

With bash autocomplete should work fine depending on the command you 
have issued eg. an 'cd' wont give a file listing with <TAB> while 'ls' 
would. There is also a script in /etc/bash_completion which I find very 
useful it gives even more complete bash-completion with other commands, 
i find it useful to auto complete apt, it works with many other progs 
aswell. To activate this edit /etc/bash.bashrc look towards the bottom 
of this file for "# enable bash completion in interactive shells" and 
uncomment as required! Jonno
