Two colons in a sentence seems odd to me, and the English doesn't parse well either. How about: "Empty here-documents are not portable either; with the following code, @command{zsh} 4.3.10 creates a file with a single newline, whereas other shells create an empty file:" Also, is it really just that one micro release of zsh that has this problem? Or do you mean "since 4.3.10" or maybe "before 4.3.10" or even "at least 4.3.10"? Cheers, -- Gary V. Vaughan (g...@gnu.org)
