This is problematic because the functions in question are tested thus in _perforce (_cvs works similarly): (( $+functions[_perforce_filetypes] )) || _perforce_filetypes() { ... } When _perforce is loaded, the test sees that the function is already marked for autoloading and doesn't define it. It's not very serious since compinit isn't usually run again. I'm not sure what the fix is. However, it's not clear to me compinit should be marking files for autoload unless it found them by searching $fpath. -- Peter Stephenson Software Engineer CSR Ltd., Science Park, Milton Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WH, UK Tel: +44 (0)1223 692070 ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
