Suggested PATCH: Reorder README a little

Suggested PATCH: Reorder README a little

[Bart Schaefer]

Generally, bug reports should not include "reporter" output unless the bug
can *not* be reproduced with "zsh -f".  Anybody disagree?

This one is gone AFAIK:

When interrupting code like the following with ^C:
   while true; do
     sh -c '...'
   done
if the `sh' is executing, zsh does not know that the sh received a ^C and
continues with the next iteration.  This happens for any program which
handles the interrupt, then exits after tidying up; it does not happen for
zsh, which exits directly from the signal handler.  The workaround is to
use ^Z which forks the shell and makes the loop a separate job, then kill
the suspended loop.

Bart Schaefer quoted the README file, just so it's clear ...

It still happens for me on RH5.2 where /bin/sh is bash.  The loop

	while true; do
	  sh -c 'more /etc/termcap'
	done

can only be interrupted if you happen to hit bash with the signal before
"more" gets started.

These bugs are already fixed.  I have posted several updates to the BUGS file
but they did not find their way to the distribution.

Heyla, how much of Etc/BUGS is still valid?

>From BUGS:
"single_line_zle does not go to the next line after return."

What machine is this on?  Works fine for me.


"Only waste is stored in the variable given to read -k if there is a
 character immediately avaible for reading. In this case that character
 is not even removed from the input buffer. Try
 % sleep 1 ; read -k ch
 and press a key while it's sleeping then examine $ch."

What machine? What situations? Also works fine for me.
