You can also use tab completion to finish off a filename.

For example, "ls abc" and then <tab> will complete the filename "abcdef.ghi" if
it is present in the directory.  If there is more than one file that starts
with "abc" then nothing will happen until you hit <tab> twice; then it will
give you a list of all of the files that start with "abc".

Tab completion can save a huge amount of typing.
