I'm not that much familiar with it either ; all I can say for now is
that there doesn't seem to be any $www variable set at any moment (and
others shells agree with that), and I can see no reference to such a
variable in any of the startup scripts (the only occurence of the word
'www' being in the _webbrowser completer, in the command name : I
don't see why the shell would take that for a named directory).
