And you do need the quotes on the last one. Run `info standalone invoking' to find out what is going on there.) Also have a look at Util/helpfiles, which chops the zsh manual up into bits and stuffs them in a directory where they can be accessed with the run-help function (`autoload run-help'); then try using M-h in the middle of a zsh command line. [Util/helpfiles could stand to be updated, it doesn't know about the completion functions and user contributions sections, among other things.] -- 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
