I'm running msys 1.0 on Win2K using the rxvt.exe terminal. By default, tab-completion works, but when I do 'set -o vi' to enable vi-readline editing, tab-completion stops working. Surely I can have my cake and eat it too?

Which shell are you using? If you are using bash you may need to enable "advanced" completions in bash...
if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
. /etc/bash_completion
fi
In your ~/.bashrc
On OSX you can do:
$ sudo port install bash-completion
To your ~/.profile add:
if [ -f /opt/local/etc/bash_completion ]; then
. /opt/local/etc/bash_completion
fi
