Having spent the last few months dealing with the replacement of win95 machines with win2k ones here at work, I have become attached to a few tools I have started using that give me these features in a DOS setup.

For file completion, there is an option as part of the Win2K version of TweakUI to enable this.  By setting both file and folder completion to "TAB", you can emulate the bash style filename completion.

As for a DOS equiv, there is a great tool called DOSED out there.  This is a fantastic replacement for DOSKEY.  It has filename completion and history in one simple tool.

Having a Unix-style (bash, csh) shell on your Windows machine is a
real joy. No 8.3 limitations, command completion, history, snap into
vi for quick edits, and much much more.
