filename completion

["Jack Wootton" <jackwootton gmail com>]

Hello,

I have read FAQ section 6.  However it has not helped my understanding
of filename completion.

Filename completion is normally performed by pressing the tab button
on Linux.  The FAQ says

******************************************************************************************
6.3 How can I complete commands, file names, variable names and so on?

   Just press M-Tab.  Press M-Tab again to get a listbox if there are
   multiple possible completions.
******************************************************************************************

Pressing the tab key at all just transfers control to a different
panel within mc.  When typing 'cd' on the command line part of the mc
dispaly, I want to be able to use command completion etc just as if I
were not using mc.

How can I do this?
