Something else I never knew. nor i, until someone asked if it could be done and i went looking. as always, i find myself amazed at what zsh can do, and totally frustrated at the documentation. i've been thinking for a while that what zsh really needs is one of those o'reilly handbooks to be written about it, and more recently, i've come to the conclusion that that probably isn't going to happen anytime soon. except... i've written some tech. docs myself, and done a fair amount of non-tech writing, and for the last week or two have been bouncing arouund the idea of submitting a proposal for a zsh book to o'reilly; the main problem i see with my doing that, however, is that i'm far from the most knowledgeable person about zsh, so most of my zsh tricks come from this list. so i guess my questions are, would anyone else who is more involved in the development side (and thus has a better understanding of the internals) be interested in co-writing an o'reilly zsh book, and would the list as a whole be opposed to being a sounding board for any questions that might come up? -- sweth. -- Sweth Chandramouli IS Coordinator, The George Washington University / (202) 994 - 8521 (V) / (202) 994 - 0458 (F) *
