This is especially annoying when writing something like: jagor% cd site-lisp/g*a/lisp and it fails (although g*a completes uniquely by itself in site-lisp directory), because gnus-beta is a symbolic link to gnus-5.2.10. Ksh and bash do not seem to have this problem, whereas plain sh behaves like zsh. -- hniksic@srce.hr | Student of electrical engineering hniksic@fly.cc.fer.hr | University of Zagreb, Croatia ------------------------------------------------------------------ * Q: What is an experienced Emacs user? * A: A person who wishes that the terminal had pedals. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
