Recently I have tried using OpenVMS. So far I pretty much like everything there. One thing that I liked specifically about it is that it completes commands automatically if there is only one match. For example - if I want to purge all the previous versions of all files in the directory, instead of typing 'PURGE' I can type 'PU' because there is no any other command that starts with PU, so it knows that I'm talking about the command PURGE: $ pu <- here the command went out fine $ p <- here it says that there are other commands that start with p %DCL-W-ABVERB, ambiguous command verb - supply more characters \P\ I wish you could tell me if it is possible to do with ZSH, because this feature is simply one of OpenVMS' best features. --=-hXbbo79zvyDC0DMODEDr Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBBpiScSNo7YFxrqXkRAu6wAKCBSLGiIFX/GfzOzoRfbNEwhPx+TACfVt2x 3d5ZvkKl55pVCFzZxpdovQ4= =WQIG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-hXbbo79zvyDC0DMODEDr--
