According to Doug: > > variables, > > Errr... Not sure what you mean by this one. Many variables to control features and shell behaviour, some coming from tcsh and new to zsh, examples : setopt auto_list setopt auto_menu setopt always_to_end setopt always_last_prompt setopt append_history setopt auto_remove_slash setopt extended_glob setopt glob_complete setopt hist_ignore_dups watch=(all) > How fancy do you want? :) Take a look at > http://home.san.rr.com/freebsd/Bash-prompts.txt. Is this a contest ? :) Here is mine (zsh / tcsh): PS1="%h [%T] %B%n%b@%m:%B%2.%(#.#.>)%b " export PS1 -=-=- set prompt="%h [%T] %B%n%b@%m:%B%.2%#%b " > Heh, "It's different" is a good description of how people usually > criticize things.

The defaults suit me more in both of these than in bash. > Personally I think this is another plus in bash's favor. You should care if you write scripts with the shell where I mostly use the sell only for interactive purposes. Most of my scripting is done in more or less pure sh if less than 10 lines and in Perl if more :) > Note that I'm not trying to change anyone's mind, but I do like to > promote factual discourse. If you think this is bad, try comp.unix.shells.
