This suggests to mE that either: a) I've stuffed something up, or b) there is a 'quirk' in compinit that means it will not autoload functions when they are not installed as root or $USER. wombat:trix>> echo $ZSH_VERSION 4.0.1-pre-2 wombat:trix>> uname -a IRIX64 wombat 6.5 07201607 IP27 wombat:trix>> I've been a zsh-convert for over 2 years now.
