Dear Meino:

Two great places to get more information on how zsh works:

1.  http://zsh.sunsite.dk/Guide/   The user-friendly user's guide to 
zsh.  I found this to be extremely helpful and very well-written.  The 
author has a well-developed sense of humo(u)r.  I printed it out and 
had it bound (inexpensively).  On-line it is free.

2.  From bash to Z shell -- this is a new book that describes much of 
how to use zsh (as well as bash) in detail.   http://babyurl.com/IRADe2 
    It is well worth the money.

HTH,

Bill

Start over.

Get rid of the "zmodload zsh/zmv zmv"  from your .zshrc and start a brand
new shell.  Having that command in your .zshrc will break everything else
you try with zmv later.

INSTEAD of the "zmodload", place "autoload zmv" in your .zshrc.

zmv is a function; *not* a module! Just add "autoload zmv" (without the
quotes) in your ~/.zshrc. Take a quick look into the zsh-guide ;)

Hi Peter !

 Thank you for your reply. :O)

 ...with my newbie-like understanding of zsh I could give
 
		zmv

 on the commandline then, but I get

	   zsh: failed to load module: zsh/zmv
       zmv: autoload failed

 ...

 I feel totally wrong in this case, but....WHAT is wrong ?

zmv is a function, not part of a module; you need to "autoload zmv".

Hi ! :O)

[Meino Christian Cramer]

Hi all ! :)

 I just want to say "HELLO" -- I just subscribed to this list.
 A week ago I used ZShell the first time -- I am using Linux with Bash 
 since ten years though.

 I have a thre first question:
 I added the following line to my .zshrc

   zmodload zsh/zmv zmv

 then giving 

   zmv
 
 just as an test on the commandline gives me:

   zsh: failed to load module: zsh/zmv
   zmv: autoload failed

 Other commands like

   zmodload -a zsh/stat stat

 and then 

   stat <file>

 works fine.

 ????

 Another question:

   ls a<TAB>

 is /damn/ slow trying to complete.

 Bash in the same directory is much faster. I am sure I only have done
 something very wrong only...but what.

 A third question:
 Setting TERM=xterm-color corrupts my prompt, while setting it to
 TERM=xterm works fine, but corrupts many other progs like mc,
 alsamixer etc...

 Any idea?

 Thank you very much in advance!
 Kind regards,
 Meino
