On % echo ${PWD/ it gives me what I expect (don't ask): % echo ${PWD/bc01/bc01/test}/$f I would guess that something visceral is grabbing potential parameter completions before the history code can do anything --- given the second result, the list of history words is OK, and also, more subtly, it's not falling over on the incompletely parsed parameter. I didn't get very far looking at the trace output, a large chunk of which (in my case) seems to be testing for colouring strings. -- Peter Stephenson Cambridge Silicon Radio, Unit 300, Science Park, Milton Road, Cambridge, CB4 0XL, UK Tel: +44 (0)1223 392070
