The change in `%' treatment broke _man completion for Pyramid. The fix is triovial (attached because of line length), but I have different question: what is the "canonical" treatment of backslashes in pattern? I would expected, that the original form should work: $manpath/\\%L/...} - this gets passed as `\%L' pattern that is finally the same as just '%L'? Obviously, not. A line in manual, describing what happens with backslashes, is welcome :-) -andrej Have a nice DOS! B >>
