To answer Martin,

a) Michael's mention of tab-completion being a common *nix feature may  
explain why it works on Mac OS X (which I believe he also is using)  
but may not work on Windows.

b) It is an Americanism to say 'your mileage may vary', as a European  
would more sensibly* talk about litres/kilometre than miles/gallon.  
But there it is.

* It is readily seen that the relationship between price and mpg is  
not nearly as linear (and the linear fit not nearly as good) as that  
between price and 1/mpg.
