If you're used to something like DOS you might prefer using the arrow
keys. If you're using the bash shell this is AFAIK the default.
You're probably using the ksh shell which is the NetBSD default shell. I'm
using that shell too and have:

bind "^I=complete"
bind "^I^I=complete-list"
set -o emacs

...in my ".profile". This gives you editing with arrowkeys and filename
completion with TAB.

You should be able to get csh/tcsh to behave in the same manner.
