I have backported the auto-complete functions in the shell, fs, and textutils APIs along with the settings API.
The shell, edit, lua and list programs that check with the settings API and use auto-complete are now included.
Currently, the only default option in setting that works would be disabling auto-complete and disabling multishell.

To install enter the Lua console and run:
loadstring(http.get("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Selim042/CC-Backports/master/install").readAll())()
The install script will prepend your startup script if it exists and downloads the aforementioned updated programs.

WARNING:
Do NOT assume that this will work exactly like the same functions from modern versions of CC.
If you find any idiosyncrasies, please tell me, I want them to work very similar if not the same.

Please post issues on the GitHub repo.

Your welcome. I am currently working on a better installer that will also get the updated program files.

EDIT: Better installer complete. Check OP.

I made a 'pre-compiled' option, check your pull requests.

Edit: Any chance of a resource pack compatible version?
How to add this to a resource pack - A super short tutorial
(Just a quick note, I'm having issues with my version of this)
in MC, download and run the the installer (see op) (or use 'pre-compiled' version)
outside of MC, locate MC computer files
create a resource pack ( http://www.computerc...resource-packs/ )
copy files in mincraftComputer/progs to resourcepackROM/programs
copy startup from your computercraftcraft.jar and place it somewhere you can easily access (e.g. your desktop)
open minecraftComputer/startup and scroll to the bottom, delete the section below in the file 
 local progs = fs.list("/progs")
for i=1, #progs do
	shell.setAlias(progs[i], "/progs/"..progs[i])
end
shell.setAlias("ls", "/progs/list")
open startup (the one from computercraft.jar) and add to the top of it everything in minecraftComputer/startup (excluding the part we removed)
save and close both files
delete startup from minecraftComputer
place the startup you copied from computercraft.jar in your resourcepack

this won't create a default settings file, I'm looking into a fix for this

I have the help files included in Northbridge Terminal OS now, but it does not appear to be very simple to add the help files in a nice way for this use. As for part two, still haven't looked into that.
