I think you want setopt autolist listambiguous While we're on the subject of just-noticed features in other shells, I just noticed that tcsh's `complete' command can take a glob pattern for the name of the command(s) to which the programmable completion should apply. Does anybody think this would be useful enough to add to zsh? -- Bart Schaefer Brass Lantern Enterprises http://www.well.com/user/barts http://www.nbn.com/people/lantern New male in /home/schaefer: >N 2 Justin William Schaefer Sat May 11 03:43 53/4040 "Happy Birthday"
