My thanks to all who responded. Also, my apologies for repeating the
question. I thought I had posted it earlier (as was shown by others),
but I couldn't find it in my sent mail and phrased the subject line
quite differently.

Yes, I did read the manpage for bash and the section on the complete
command. I looked for "nospace" and, frankly, I could not make head or
tail of 'complete' - it refers to other sections all over the man
page. I still haven't figured out what the complete command is good
for - nothing I can see that I do on a regular basis.

I don't care to spend a lot of time figuring out something that tricky
these days. I can live with the appended space on command line
argument variable expansion, and I no longer need to customize every
single aspect of - pretty much anything.

My big takeaway from this whole discussion is I should read the
release notes whenever a new bash comes out. In general, I have way
too many higher priority activities I actually want to pursue.

Thanks again.

Mark
