I enter % wc **/foob hoping to expand this to **/foobar.dat (assuming there's nothing else starting with 'foob' in any of the subdirectories). However, I get the '**' expanded to the first subdirectory name which has a file starting with 'foob' in it. (If I keep pressing then I cycle round). I've got the following options set, and I'm running version 3.1.5. nobeep completeinword globcomplete histignoredups histverify ignoreeof interactive login monitor pushdignoredups shinstdin zle Is there some combination of options I haven't managed to find yet, or is this just impossible to do? -- Richard Curnow---by day : SuperH Core Architecture at STMicroelectronics curnowr@bristol.st.com---------www.superh.com-------------www.st.com---- and by night >>---richard.curnow@go.to---http://go.to/richard.curnow/---
