Larry,
I deliberately use case sensitivity for completion, but even knowing that,
completion on absolute names in Windows native format does not work for me.
I tried with the drive letter both in lower and upper case, but no go.
Perhaps there's another option of which I'm unaware?
By the way, for Chris' benefit, in case he doesn't already know, the
"~/.inputrc" directive for getting case insensitivity from completion is:
set completion-ignore-case on
