If you want to give a pathname to tar with --files-from=3D/path/name, bash will complete the /path/name for you, even though it's immediately after the '=3D', while zsh, as configured by default on my box, will not -- I need to go between =3D and /path and insert a space, then go to the end and press tab to complete /path/name, then return to '=3D /' and remove the space. Which settings control zsh behavior in this case -- tokenization, special flag(s)? Alexy On 8/2/05, Deliverable Mail wrote: > I'm migrating to zsh and find it differs subtly from bash.
