;#
;# Author: Wayne Thompson
;#
;# Description:
;#     This routine provides word completion.
;#     (TAB) attempts word completion.
;#     (^D)  prints completion list.
;#
;# Diagnostics:
;#     Bell when word completion fails.
;#
;# Dependencies:
;#     The tty driver is put into raw mode.
;#
;# Bugs:
;#     The erase and kill characters are hard coded.
;#
;# Usage:
;#     $input = do Complete('prompt_string', @completion_list);
;#
