Why "zero our config files"? You put the completion functions in an extra file in a directory in your fpath. If you want the system functions take over precedence, put your own dir at the end of fpath :) > 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.

Why would you want a compctl recipe if you get it for free in the new completion system? :-) Ciao, Thomas --=20 Thomas K=F6hler Email: jean-luc@picard.franken.de | LCARS - Linux <>< WWW: http://jeanluc-picard.de | for Computers IRC: jeanluc | on All Real PGP public key available from Homepage! | Starships --AhhlLboLdkugWU4S 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 iD8DBQE8qx2WTEYXWMJlHuYRAhGHAJ42Z9A+MNPl10VyQnNKHiHjh83X4wCfSFOG TZJhkywuloHT0mk6j7kdHnY= =Cs7l -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --AhhlLboLdkugWU4S--
