Especially considering that your exact example would require a directory named "user@server:" before there'd be a problem. > ZSH will teach you proper quoting and file globbing, something you've > easily taken for granted in Bash. :) You mean unnecessary quoting, don't you? Remember, I'm the same person that recommends defensively quoting all variables in shell scripts. But I'm a big boy, I don't need my shell forcing me to add superfluous quoting and escaping when I'm doing something quick and dirty on the command line. ZSH might be awesome, but please stick to facts not FUD. -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
