This can be fixed by installing Linux on your PC. At least, I don't know of another way. The workaround, of course, is to install the new zsh from bash, which is what I do. Annoyingly, the usual trick of exec'ing something else within the window doesn't work either. Windows seems to remember what you started in the window. I still have a suspicion it thinks it's DOS, deep down, whatever everyone says. -- Peter Stephenson Cambridge Silicon Radio, Unit 300, Science Park, Milton Road, Cambridge, CB4 0XL, UK Tel: +44 (0)1223 392070
