sh completion completes *.sh filenames only. If you want it to complete all filenames, hit Alt+/ instead of tab.
Ville, Thanks for your response. This is not how it used to work. Why did it change? I have a bash at work that behaves as I'm expecting it to AND the bash I compiled from the ftp.gnu.org sources behaves the way I'm expecting it to behave. Regards, George...
As of Fedora 16, the bash-completion package is installed by default. You can remove it if you don't like it. The version of bash you're running doesn't have anything to do with this.
