Do something like [[ -o zle ]] && print "zle is not running" to check. > zsh version: > 3.0.5-nt-beta-0.74 (Amol Deshpande's port) This isn't a cygwin-aware port, so far as I know, so it may not realise (for reasons which would be far beyond my knowledge of Windows) that the xterm is connected to a terminal. If you want a more consistent environment, I'd suggest getting 3.1.9 (or 3.1.9-dev-2 from the development directory on the archive, which has a few bug fixes but few other changes) and compiling it directly under cygwin. I haven't tried it under an xterm, but normal operation under cygwin is fine. -- Peter Stephenson Cambridge Silicon Radio, Unit 300, Science Park, Milton Road, Cambridge, CB4 0XL, UK Tel: +44 (0)1223 392070
