But still the problem is not solved.
Mine is latest cygwin.

Thanks and regards,

Soumitra,


No one seems to have asked you about your readline options. I know next to nothing about tcsh, but BASH uses ~/.inputrc in which you can make completion ignore alphabetic case by using this directive:

set completion-ignore-case on

Does tcsh use ~/.inputrc or an equivalent? Does it support this option?


OK. ... Doing my homework. ...


According to the tcsh man page, the "complete" shell variable controls command completion options. If it's set to "enhance", then alphabetic case is ignored. There are other options, of course. E.g., "recognize_only_executables" could be relevant here and can be expected to interact with other Cygwin mechanisms such as "ntsec," actual file modes and owners, etc.

Check out the "The command-line editor" and "Completion and listing" sections of the tcsh manual.
