Well, I wish I could be more specific, but if nobody else knows, maybe this will set you on your way. I've seen a problem similar to this, that was a result of emulation settings (read: $TERM variable). It's not that zsh is appending the command vs replacing it, it's that the terminal isn't properly clearing the line before printing the next command...see what I mean? Seems like it's related to your backspace problem; you can only backspace as many characters as you've typed, because zsh knows you've only typed that many, it's just that your terminal is sending the character to the right when you hit backspace instead of the left. Or maybe it's something different entirely. :)=20 --=20 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ John Buttery Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.
