I found the info manual tarball at the website, but I > have no idea how to install it. The info files go in a directory named info. Usually something like /usr/share/info or /usr/local/info. You'll have zsh.info and a few other numbered files starting from zsh.info-1. They can be gzipped to save space. You may need to point to the info directories using the INFOPATH environment variable. In zsh, you might use something like: typeset -Tx INFOPATH infopath infopath=( ~/info ) Each info directory has a file named `dir' which serves as a sort of menu. If you have installed GNU texinfo, you can add an entry for zsh to this file with something like the following command: install-info --info-dir=/usr/local/info /usr/local/info/zsh.info Then you need a program to view the files. GNU texinfo comes with a standalone program named info to do this. I don't like it and tend to use tkinfo instead. There are other options such as the gnome help browser (which seems to insist on a huge font) and one built-in to emacs. The other option is to use the HTML version of the manual. Oliver
