tab completion and readline

[David M Rector]

Please help,

When using octave version 2.1.36, we constantly relied on tab completion 
to navigate through directory trees and long filenames. In octave 2.1.48 
and 2.1.40, we can no longer get directory information from readline.

In fact, we used tab completion all the time in our functions as string 
inputs to specify directories and filenames. This no longer works under 
2.1.48 and take us a lot of extra time now, so much so that I am tempted 
to blow away 2.1.4x and go back to 2.1.36

Does anyone know of a way to restore tab completion for filenames in 
octave 2.1.48.

Thanks!
