I forgot to say: if they were special parameters we could easily make one mirror the other (internally they would then really be the same char**). It's just a (tiny) bit nasty to inherit the value of a normal parameter into the special one when complist gets loaded. But then, we could make complist be autoloaded on `ZLS_COL(|U)RS'. We had this question when I posted complist, and I was against it, but at that time I didn't think about making them special. Hm. Bye Sven -- Sven Wischnowsky wischnow@informatik.hu-berlin.de
