   Probably what you want to use is <ESC> \.  Also, if you enter <ESC> =
   you'll get a list of filenames that match the pattern.  So in Edward's
   example, typing:
	   $vi /u/lvc/p<ESC>=
   gives you:
	   1) psycho
	   2) psyllium
	   $ vi /u/lvc/p_

This brings up the question of what the numbers are for.
Can I get ksh to expand to a particular match by somehow using
its number ?
If the numbers cannot be used for anything why are they there ?
