Yes, but it doesn't work. At least not with bash completion. I think this is 
the filenames bash "sees" are in EUC where as an "ls" sees control 
characters.

True, and to show my point about filename completion look at this output:

[root@example.com /var/www/html/intranet/HR]# ls | cat -v
M-^CfM-^CBM-^CYM-^CjM-^A[M-^CM-^IM-^CM-^SM-^Ch

That would be nice if I could do it but it seems the files all start with 
"M"? And that's not a control char. If I try 'ls M[tab]' I don't get 
filename completion.
