OK.  I have ECO 2 installed but let me ask this: what happens when/if you 
are connected to a remote how and do the same 'cd<tab>'?

Other sftp clients (at least, on my OS X, Ubuntu and Debian systems) will
not give you a prompt like on VMS.  They expect to be connected to a host
before offering the sftp> prompt.

Yeah. You know, it occurs to me that the best way you hurt rich people is by
turning them into poor people. -- Billy Ray Valentine
