This is supported by default by the _path_files functions that handles completion in the new system. Try: zsh -f autoload compinit compinit -D (compinit -D prevents stomping on your .zcompdump file). If it works there you have somehow managed to turn it off in your initialisation files. You can configure the settings for file completion, if that is the problem, by running `compinstall' (completely misnamed for historical reasons), selection `Styles for particular completions', then `Options for file completion'. There is an option there to choose how multiple path segments are expanded. Nothing there should actually disable it, but there are subtleties as you will see. If you find some blatant gotcha, please let us know. -- Peter Stephenson Software Engineer CSR Ltd., Science Park, Milton Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WH, UK Tel: +44 (0)1223 692070 ********************************************************************** The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
