No problem if not, I'll just go and work out what needs tweaked. On a slightly more contentious note, I've lived with the odd crash till now expecting that 3.1.5 would be worth switching to. But it was chock-full of bugs, and the available fixes are now mixed up with dozens of new features. These I would also live with, except that if recent history is any guide, Zefram will autocratically remove those he doesn't like! (Who said history search??? :-) So I can't really start to make use of them. Granted, if I can't take the heat etc etc, there's always bash. But I think it's unfortunate that the 'released' zsh crashes after every few hundred commands, and it hasn't been fixed in six months or however long it is now. Just the traditional 2c, Anthony
