curiouser'n'curiouser! on this IRIX 5.3 using csh
i have a subdirectory arms , containing lurid files re weaponry Worldwide
(up here, we see arms as something governments should severely restrict):
if i enter arm then Tab, it completes to arms/ ;
if i enter e arms in an attempt to create a file arms ,
the editor (a nifty subset of Emacs) starts with the listing of arms/ .
it seems this flavor of UNIX doesn't expect arms & arms/ to differ.
