zsh doesn't like cut'n'paste on my IRIX

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

I have the following problem with zsh (currently pws-11) but the problems
seems to be older.

At the system console of my IRIX (6.5) box (running X11)
I have say the following lines in one window


------------
cat  <<\EOD

# Special Formats (HJ)
ETeX    etex   language.def  *ETeX.ini
ETeXe   etex   language.def  *ETeXe.ini
PTeXe   etex   language.def  *PTeXe.ini
PTeX    etex   language.def  *PTeX.ini
EOD
-----------


If I select this text and paste it into an xterm window running zsh, I get
103 % cat  <<\EOD
 *ETeX.ini
ETeXe   etex   language.def  *ETeXe.ini
heredoc> 
i
EOD
heredoc> # Special Formats (HJ)
heredoc> ETeX    etex   language.def PTeXe   etex  *ETeX.ini
heredoc> ETeXe   etex   language.def  *ETeXe.ini
heredoc>   language.def  *PTeXe.ini
heredoc> PTeX    etex   language.def  *PTeX.ini
heredoc> EOD

# Special Formats (HJ)
ETeX    etex   language.def PTeXe   etex  *ETeX.ini
ETeXe   etex   language.def  *ETeXe.ini
  language.def  *PTeXe.ini
PTeX    etex   language.def  *PTeX.ini


Can anyone help me?
(This does NOT happen if a different shell like bourne-shell is running
 in that xterm )

Thanks,
Helmut.

I can confirm this. It is virtually impossible to paste multiline buffer in
zsh (all vesions). I'm currently running X11R6 + Motif 1.2 + CDE (TED 4.2)
and work under dtterm. But as I remember the problem was the same with other
versions and other terms. I just deemed it "normal" :-)
