Agreed, using "+folder" on scripts like the one I sent some hours ago is not difficult. If I remember, the nmh tarball has some COMPLETION-* files with the changes that must be added to the shell initialization files to complete folder names. I am not against the proposal of Norman, but certainly this change should not be required for shell scripting or argument completion.
