When at a filename prompt the user types some letters and then <Tab><Tab>, the possible completions are listed at the top of the edit window.  This is very far away from where the eyes of the user are: on the prompt bar.  Most of the time the list of possible completions is just a handful of items.  It would be more user-friendly if those items were listed directly above the prompt bar.
