That's deserved.  I tend to see these things in the heat of some battle 
and I remember that there IS a way, but can't remember what it is.  Also 
I play with zsh in binges -- I can go a year without touching her, and I 
forget a whole lot that was only tenuously learned.  BTW, how does one 
search the archives?  I'd look there first, especially when I clearly 
remember that I had some issue before even if I don't remember how it 
resolved.   Just googling I often come across one of my own posts but a 
direct search in the archives would be best.  Meantime I'll have 
'typeset -p' tattooed onto the back of my hand.
