It appears that the nul character is being ignored. I've verified that I *can* send the nul character via cat -v. With my current keyboard in an xterm, I can use shift-control-2 (control-@) or control-spacebar. I've verified that the set-mark-command works by setting it to another character via the bindkey command: bindkey "^Z" set-mark-command. I can bind ^@ to other commands, but they don't get executed either when I press control-spacebar. This is with version 2.5.03. My OS is HP-UX 9.05 on 9000/715. Version 2.3.1 works as expected. This seems like a rather strange problem, as I've not seen any mention of it on zsh-users mailing list before. Doesn't anyone else have this problem? Rodger Anderson
