RE: Command completion problem.

I'm not clear what you are trying to achieve. Where are you expecting tab
completion to work

Re: Command completion problem.

Good question. The square brackets in the folder name throws it out - remove
the [test] and it will work ok.

Tab expansion code looks ok, from what I can see, so it's perhaps just a bug
in the way the PowerShell console window works. The same experiment works
ok in a cmd.exe window.
