Not answering your question, but if you really are lazy (and I'll you 
are using Windows, having this problem - at least you are not using 
Linux) add this to the registry:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor]
"CompletionChar"=dword:00000009
"DefaultColor"=dword:00000000
"EnableExtensions"=dword:00000001

(copy above text into a file, f.ex. 'CmdTab.reg' and execute).  This 
will set the Tab key to behave somewhat smart so you can do this:

fpc p<Tab>
resulting into: fpc programname.dpr (or whatever)

Pressing <Tab> repeatedly vil cycle through all files starting on the 
letter 'p' in case there are several.
