Let's say I have file.tm and file.tm~ in the same directory. When I
want to send this to a 'texmacs unaware' person, I export the .tm to
.pdf and send the pdf file. Usually I store the pdf file with the same
file name (ie file.pdf in this case).

But, when using bash_completion with texmacs, I like to complete just
the .tm files. After lurking around in bash_completion script for a
while, I discovered that the following does what I need.

complete -f -X '!*.tm' texmacs
