I am a > big fan of zsh, and I certainly don't want to use bash instead ;) Quite right too. Are you using Amol Deshpande's native win32 port or a cygwin compiled version? If the former, you might want to add setopt winntignorecase winntlamepathfix to your .zshrc and you'll need special bindings to get the arrow keys to work properly (see Amol's docs). The only relatively big problem I have under NT is that command line editing breaks when the terminal is very wide. -- stephen@memex.com
