This is partially fixed for the next release. A single completion will now complete to 'foo=' (i.e. with no space at the end). A second completion will complete to "foo='content'". So now you simply delete the '=' if you don't want it, but you don't have to deal with the space. Ian -- Ian Macdonald | New crypt. See /usr/news/crypt.
