Re: Auto-completion isn't working

Hello Mr. Bart Schaefer!

I provided you with my zshrc, and the output of zsh -x.
Indeed that ought to tell you something?

This is my home:

total 12
drwxr-xr-x  3 johann  wheel  512 May 12 12:11 bin

When, let's say, I want to enter ftp/archive, then the auto-completion
feature would allow me to press f<tab> and then a<tab>. But f<tab> doesn't
complete to ftp/ in zsh. Instead it just beeps.

When I switch to tcsh, however, auto-completion works.

Cool, this gave me some more output:
