Soumitra,

No one seems to have asked you about your readline options. I know next 
to nothing about tcsh, but BASH uses ~/.inputrc in which you can make 
completion ignore alphabetic case by using this directive:

set completion-ignore-case on

Does tcsh use ~/.inputrc or an equivalent? Does it support this option?


OK. ... Doing my homework. ...

According to the tcsh man page, the "complete" shell variable controls 
command completion options. If it's set to "enhance", then alphabetic 
case is ignored. There are other options, of course. E.g., 
"recognize_only_executables" could be relevant here and can be expected 
to interact with other Cygwin mechanisms such as "ntsec," actual file 
modes and owners, etc.

Check out the "The command-line editor" and "Completion and listing" 
sections of the tcsh manual.
