Actually, i think i figured out the problem and it has nothing to do with zsh, as i mentioned in my post earlier, in the case it doesn't work the echo'ed string looked like this: /ccview/norton_hari_vu//calm/repl with two slashes, actually it turned out that emacs when it sees two consecutive slashes, it ignores everything before it and assumes the start of another fully qualified pathname, that is why it just recognized just "/calm/repl", hope this is clear, in any case, my problem is resolved and it is not a bug of any program! Thanks, hari
