This part is correct. } If the RCS option is unset, however, somewhere in /etc/zshenv, then the } file WON'T be read, even if it is named correctly. (I'll be honest, } I haven't looked at zsh on NT - functionality could be different } as far as what startup files are read.) Assuming you're using Amol Deshpande's zsh port, it will indeed read the files \etc\zshenv, \etc\zshrc, etc. if you create a \etc directory on your default drive (e.g. C:\etc). It also reads $HOME\.zshenv, $HOME\.zshrc, etc., where HOME has to be set in the environment by using the NT user account manager (use the option to assign the user a home directory, don't just add HOME to the environment). -- Bart Schaefer Brass Lantern Enterprises http://www.well.com/user/barts http://www.brasslantern.com
