I'm not sure that's really a good idea. If I start an xterm with one geometry from inside an xterm with a different geometry, I don't want zsh trying to change the size of the second one to match the first. Just believe what the user tells you and leave the rest alone. -- Bart Schaefer Brass Lantern Enterprises http://www.well.com/user/barts http://www.brasslantern.com
