It does relate to screen size. I repeat - if I have a "Really Large List" of matches, zsh asks me if I want to see them before printing. But if I have a list, that is only "a bit longer" than screen size, it is printed. So, my question is - why zsh prints list that is longer than screen size? Is it intentional? I call it a bug. Either I need a way to scroll list (or to page through it one screen at a time) - or zsh must ask me before printing it. /andrej
