Previous similar invocations of 'print' seemed to need this form:

	print -rlu2 "${array[@]}" > file

... which I took on faith, but as Bart shows, it seems that in this 
situation the 'ru2'
are bad medicine.

So my array reads/writes to file looking like this:


/root
/boot
/aWorking/Zsh
/root/.icedove/Ray/Mail/Local Folders
/aRay
/etc
/aWorking

... spaces are protected, and it compresses fine.  And  select is happy.
If it still works on Tuesdays so am I.
So it was a useful exercise even if I now go on to see that 'cdr' does it
all better anyway.
