Thats what i had originally thought .. but *C*f* would also produce the completion on _tar_archive and not _file -/ (which would be my expected behavior from the -C switch). Anyhow thanks for your reply .. as i'd mentioned in my previous i've only been using zsh for a short while .. i can't tell you how great i'm finding it .. i'm hooked! kudos to all involved. I'm planning writting a basic intro (that would only cover 3.1.9 as that is all i'm familiar with) would that seem too premature, meaning is it safe to assume that 4.x (or what ever the next stable release it to be) is on the horizon? calum
