I've started to get email feedback about this month's Shell Corner:

    http://www.unixreview.com/documents/s=9513/ur0501a/ur0501a.htm

(No, I'm not related to Ed in any way that either of us knows about.)

I really wanted to plug "From Bash to Z Shell" in the article, but the
editors ruled it a conflict of interest for Ed, because we were both
technical reviewers for the book.  Why that's a conflict I'm not sure,
because it's not like we're getting a cut of the royalties or anything,
but there it is; anyway, the suggestion to "look elsewhere for a longer
introduction" should be taken as encouraging you to check out the book.

Meanwhile, unless there's an objection, I'm going to take the suggestion
made in some of the aforementioned feedback and put all the functions in
a file and add them to the zsh distribution.  Would Functions/Misc be
the right place, or Functions/Zle ?

It might be worth adding a different directory.

Actually, now I've actually looked at the article :-), Zle seems OK.

By the way: am I the only one who mistook the meaning of "From Bash to
Z Shell" for something like "/Changing/ from Bash to Z Shell"...?

With me it makes 2. Anyway, the book is really nice, so I don't mind.

Yeah, me too ;-).  Still, a very good book.  It explained a lot of stuff
I hadn't gotten the grip of.  It's also a very good reference, making it
easy to look up stuff that I keep forgetting,

I guess everyone who didn't look at the book had the same idea.  At 
least I'm number four.

Wherever it goes, I'd like to see a reference in a README file 
explaining why these mysterious new functions have suddenly appeared.  :-)
