Re: Incomplete completion for w3m under 4.1.1

["Zvi Har'El" <rl@math.technion.ac.il>]

Perhaps _w3m should be fixed to resemble _lynx, i.e., the last parameter for
the _arguments function should be ':url:->html' rather then ':url:->url' .
What I do now when I wish zsh to complete files in the current directory is to
start with "w3m fi<TAB>" and next "w3m file://<TAB>" which completes the
current directory.
