After a very cursory look at the (synopsis in the) smbclient manual, I'd sayy that you probably were better of copying not too much from _cvs. That is pretty complicated because of the sub-command handling which doesn't seem to be needed for smbclient. And I'd like to point you to Peter's User Guide again. It contains a short introduction to using _arguments that might be helpful (together, as Andrej said, with the example functions from the distribution). > I'll use this as incentive to get my current project finished -- my > reward will be letting myself play with zsh completion functions. :-) > It will probably be at least a week before I can start it. > > > Also, if you could send comments (or even patches) for _arguments > > documentation ... > > You can count on it!

For some of the things you wrote in 13052 I know or almost know the reason, but I don't have enough time now. Maybe tomorrow... Bye Sven -- Sven Wischnowsky wischnow@informatik.hu-berlin.de
