The problem is that @' previously expanded to ', but at some point this was changed to make it an introducer for accented characters. The problem is that when rendering into HTML, '' gets turned into a left curly double quote. So you can't use two ' without something between. The correct change is the seemingly nonsensical: @set dsq '@:' which is what appears in the 3.1.9 zsh.texi. } What you ship does not work. It works fine with RedHat 5.2. :-} And by the way, that gobbledygook in the "On ... wrote:" line is there because either your MUA or some gateway between you and me is generating invalid RFC2047 syntax in the comment part (real name) of your address. There's supposed to be whitespace around each =?...?= token. A correct formulation would be either (Trond =?iso-8859-1?q?Eivind_Glomsr=F8d?=) or (Trond Eivind =?iso-8859-1?q?Glomsr=F8d?=). -- Bart Schaefer Brass Lantern Enterprises http://www.well.com/user/barts http://www.brasslantern.com Zsh: http://www.zsh.org | PHPerl Project: http://phperl.sourceforge.net
