Perhaps any output from this hypothetical project could be folded into zsh's stock configuration periodically, at which point we would zero our config files and start over. I've played around a lot with zsh's preloaded functions, and they are certainly very extensive, but there's always more stuff to do. The example that pops to mind is a compctl "recipe" that allows dd to do filename completion on arguments that start with (for example) "if=3D" and "of=3D". --=20 john@io.com --LyciRD1jyfeSSjG0 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8qxigWH8M1wI2iFcRAjkWAJ4+IPW0tJSZHGpOnRpVD1htDV4/MwCdE6QM aQzJdYb19aLnYK4SJz3wg3I= =nQH2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --LyciRD1jyfeSSjG0--
