I still only get the potentially buggy behavior with the backslash character -- other escapes specified on the command line *do* seem to be bound to 'other' automatically. Could the code somehow not handle the backslash appropriately on the command line? This is what lead me to wonder about zsh (although I did try tcsh and bash with the same result). > > Also, a quick bonus question: any way to create a window as a zombie? I imagine I could do this with a little 'stuff'ing, but it's hardly worth it. Offhand, does anyone know how much a zombified window "costs" in resources?
