Hello,

I used to push on tab for directory completion inside octave when I change of 
current directory with 'cd'. 

Is-it normal that this completion doesn't work for more than one level of 
subdirectory (like in bash) ?
Is-it normal also that it doesn't recognize the keyword '..' to go up of the 
current dir ? Same for '~' ?

I'm agree with you that this is a tiny problem for octavers, but it's a very 
useful feature to travel through the directory tree specially when we have a 
lot of data and scripts which are classified at various places.

Thanks,
Laurent.
