If you have a filename with two consecutive newlines in it, and complete to it, the newlines are each surrounded by single quotes. Consequently, the command line looks something like host% ls a' '' 'b _ which, if RC_QUOTES is on, will be treated as a filename "a\n'\nb", rather than "a\n\nb". There's no need for anyone to fix this immediately; I intend to fix a lot of matters involving completion and quotes sometime soon. -zefram
