Right now, if I have spelling correction on, and I do something like "cp whatever file2" I might get a prompt like "zsh: correct `whatever' to `file1'?" But I don't mean file1, I mean file2; file1 is some other file I want to keep. Unfortunately, I don't notice the spelling correction prompt until I'm well into typing the next command, and as soon as I hit a space, zsh does the correction and executes the command, and my file is toast. This has happened at least twice. I've fixed my copy of zsh so that if I hit f or some other character, it assumes 'n' rather than waiting for me to type valid input. But I thought it could be made an option in the future. There's probably some compctl trick I could use to fix this too; I'll look into that. -- Paul Falstad Software.com, Inc. paul.falstad@software.com 805-882-2470 x225 http://www.ttinet.com/pjf/ http://www.software.com/ "I want to buy a husband who, every week when I sit down to watch `St. Elsewhere', won't scream, `FORGET IT, BLANCHE ...
