That's been gone since sometime in 2.5 or 2.6, whenever it was that real hash tables replaced linked lists for command lookup. I don't think it has ever worked in any 3.x version. } I think the old behaviour is useful and harmless. Unless one is trying to use disable to create a restricted shell. Then one has to disable builtin as well, which might not be desirable for other reasons. } Does anyone have any worries about this? I don't feel strongly one way or the other; I have a slight preference for the v >= 3.0 behavior rather than the v <= 2.4 behavior, but not so much as to carry on a lengthy disagreement about it. -- 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
