But will redirect to output file still works (of course not in conjunction with pipe). See below: -------------------------------- le_rhat_pc% jobs [1] + running usr/bin/xemacs le_rhat_pc% jobs > output.txt le_rhat_pc% cat output.txt [1] + running usr/bin/xemacs le_rhat_pc% jobs | cat le_rhat_pc% jobs > output.txt | cat le_rhat_pc% cat output.txt le_rhat_pc% echo `jobs` le_rhat_pc% echo $(jobs) le_rhat_pc% le_rhat_pc% uname -a Linux le_rhat_pc 2.4.7-6 #1 Wed Aug 29 11:43:50 EDT 2001 i686 unknown le_rhat_pc% echo $ZSH_VERSION 4.0.4 -------------------------------- Pretty weird, eh? thanks. -lw p.s. I'm new to zsh and the zsh list so I appologize if this is a FAQ or has already been answered recently. _______________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
