I'm at home at the moment not at work and I can't log into my WS from  
home but I did take the output of setopt and unsetopt yesterday so  
that I oculd study it at home and this is what I see:

I am not sure of the usefullness of unsetopt and the no prefix but I  
guess someone once thought it was neat.. Old habits die hard ;-)

Back to single line. this line is in the output:

	nosinglelinezle       off

If no is off then singlelinezle must be on.

I'll check it tomorrow and change it and let you know if this changes  
anything.

Thanks again!

Jerry
