I tried that and I still can't seem to get it to work with tcsh. Might be me
doing something stupid thou. Haven't tried it in zsh yet.

list-glob lists all matches to a global-pattern. If i type "ls ~/www/*.html"
it'll give me a list of matches. I tried this in zsh actually and it expanded
the pattern on the commandline for me when I pressed TAB, like the expand-glob in tcsh =). Not exactly what I wanted, but close enough.. There might even be a setting somewhere to change it, but I just haven´t got the strength to look it up in the zsh manpage just yet.. I've had enough of manpages for a while. ;)
