Ah, didn't relize that zsh is based on csh ( or some csh derivative ). I thought zsh is sh compatible and derived. bash and ksh are both sh derived ( you know that, but I'm not sure about th= e studio audience ). I know it's not due to programmable completion as I don't use that ( foolis= h of me because it rocks and it's the reason I kept thinking about moving to zsh ), but bash might still know several networked commands such as ssh and rsh. Maybe they eat the error and somehow do the right thing... ciao, der.hans --=20 # https://www.LuftHans.com/ http://www.AZOTO.org/ # If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then # you and I will still each have one apple.
