Description When using mdsplus8 (has 63 character node names), paths can be quite long. Thus when using the mdstcl text based tool to navigate through a tree with many levels, it presently requires a lot of typing. Wildcards do of course help. But even so, it would be useful to have tab completion on node names.

Even when using alpha and stable (both have 12 character node names), tab completion would be handy.

Example A good example of the feature is provided by operating systems (Linux, etc.) that have tab completion of file names when at the shell prompt.
