having tab key complete the filename

Hi All,
I am using ksh on AIX 5.2. I have to type <ESC><ESC> for file name completion can anybody tell me how to have the <TAB> key complete file names.

Thanks in advance.

I've found this on the ksh faq:

Quote:

Q6. Does ksh support file name completion?
A6. Yes, it does. The default key binding is <ESC><ESC>
however, starting with the 'g' point release, <TAB> also works
for completion. Note, the vi users need to set -o viraw
in order to get <TAB> completion to work.

it looks like if you have an older release, you will need to upgrade...
