When I tab complete/type in with appropriate backslashes a directory name containing a single ' charocter and a space gets the complaint that there is an unmatched ' and brings you back to the prompt. The only way that I have found to do anything with this directory is to escape appropriate characters _and_ put it in double quotes. e.g.: File name: don't stop How I tried to refer to it: don\'t\ stop How I had to refer to it: "don\'t\ stop" If it's useful, I'm using zsh 4.0.4. If it's just me doing something stupid then please let me know so I can stop doing it. Thanks in advance, -- Adam McNeeney adam@meliorist.co.uk - The shortest distance between any two puns is a straight line.
