    _______________________________________________________

Details:

When using TAB with the cd command to autocomplete directory names, it always
uses the top directory.

>> pwd
ans = /home/octave-4.0.0

>> cd et [press TAB] ==> this results (correctly) in the autocompleted command
cd etc/

But

>> cd etc/et [press TAB] ==> this results in cd etc/etc/

which is non-existent.

Similarly with edit:

>> edit etc/ [press TAB]
Display all 1775 possibilities? (y or n)

There are not 1775 files in the etc/ directory. It seems TAB autocomplete is
looking in the entire path for possibilities.
