I think the code that you posted is not quite the code you were 
using.

The problem is that your code had tab characters in it.  The readline 
support in R interprets a tab character as a request to complete a file 
name.  If it can't do that unambiguously it will show the directory 
listing in response to a second tab.

Your email program has turned the tabs into spaces, which fixes the 
problem.  Your text editor probably has a way to do this.

Incidentally, this happens only on certain platforms, which is why the 
posting guide suggests you should say what system you are using.
