German Umlauts

[Uli Zappe]

Hello all,

while it is great that zsh is able to deal with the lower case  
German letters

ä  (ae)
ö  (oe)
ü  (ue)   and
ß  (ss)

unfortunately it doesn't do so yet with the capital letters

Ä (AE)
Ö  (OE)
Ü  (UE)

Does anybody know if this will be fixed in the foreseeable future?

Thanks for your answers!


                Tschau
                        Uli

In what way can't it deal with it?  What do you mean?

% PROMPT="Ä% "
Ä% echo Ö
Ö
Ä% touch ÄÖÜ
Ä% ls Ä<TAB>	# yields --->  Ä% ls ÄÖÜ

Ä% echo $ZSH_VERSION
3.1.1

The same works in 3.0.4
