All,

These are my very first pokings at the code. So far, my feelings are 
about the same as
expressed by this comment in 'hist.c':

     * However, I'm so confused it could simply be baking Bakewell tarts.

I'm trying to figure out where/how command lines are grabbed (I think 
this is done by zle?).
I'd like to be able to grab commands before any processing whatsoever is 
done.  If I type:

     $ some-command $1 *.* !{1, 1 & @ >>! $2 "no parsing please!" .. () 
'<<' `# ^ -n(*&<)` {}  [enter]

... I'm hoping there will be some_string somewhere such that:

    puts(some_string)

... will print exactly:

    some-command $1 *.* !{1, 1 & @ >>! $2 "no parsing please!" .. () 
'<<' `# ^ -n(*&<)` {}


Surely there is an input buffer somewhere? That saves the
command line before it gets parsed?

One other thing: 'make' produces so many dull msg. about moving
into and out of directories and such.  Can these be turned off? I'd
like to see just warnings and errors and 'important' msg.

Thanks
