Good question! ... I'm trying to find examples of my issue, but without 
a leading command it's not really surprising that everything changes.  
Bad experimenting :( Come to that, if I don't have any command typed, 
why wouldn't the shell attempt to find one for me? Once I do have a 
command, then completion is just files, just as I want. Let me start 
viewing things that way and I'll see if I still have an issue -- maybe 
not.  Bad expectations :(

You know I wish we had the ability to delete our own questions, just 
like in most fora -- mind, we don't have any user level access to the 
archives at all.  So many questions might be answered simply by being 
able to scan the archives, esp. when I know I've asked a given question 
previously.  StackExchange: before you post a question their algorithm 
gives you a list of all previous questions that might be relevant.  
Heavy duty stuff tho, we might never have anything comparable.
