I've not read the article but I suspect it requires a GNU library to be 
included which seems to be standaard on *nix but not on XP.

You can get the XP CMD prompt to do most of the Linux/bash like things, 
including autocompletion, but its not turned on by default. If you run 
HELP CMD at a CMD prompt you can read the long description of the ptions 
and how to enable them. This is very worth while if you use the cMD 
prompt regularly IMHO!
