i looked at zsh do see how this works, and i can't say i like it. for me the point of expansion isto find out what the item can be expanded to. very often, the expansion is _not_ what i want, and then i change the item until it matches what i am looking for. if the item gets expanded automaticly like in zsh then i would be forced to remove everything again if it is wrong, which is a lot more work. same with the ability to scroll through the options. if there are a lot of choices than this can take a long time, forcing me to remove text to go back to the part i wanted. vim does that too, and i always hated it. (fortunately i recently learned how to disable it) this is just my opinion, others may feel differently... greetings, martin. -- cooperative communication with sTeam - caudium, pike, roxen and unix offering: programming, training and administration - anywhere in the world -- pike programmer travelling and working in europe open-steam.org unix system- bahai.or.at iaeste.(tuwien.ac|or).at administrator (caudium|gotpike).org is.schon.org Martin Bähr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
