My only reaction is that I'd never want the timeout set to anything greater than zero. Zsh has no business waking up and blatting output to my terminal in the midst of output that some other program may be generating. The potential for confusion is too great; I don't need, for example, a chunk of "make" output lopped out of my xterm window and stuffed into the title bar because zsh was trying to postprompt at the same instant make was echoing its next command. -- Bart Schaefer Brass Lantern Enterprises http://www.well.com/user/barts http://www.nbn.com/people/lantern New male in /home/schaefer: >N 2 Justin William Schaefer Sat May 11 03:43 53/4040 "Happy Birthday"
