But that can't mean that I should put the following in .zshenv:

export \
FPATH=/usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Calendar:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Completion:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Completion/AIX:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Completion/BSD:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Completion/Base:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Completion/Cygwin:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Completion/Darwin:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Completion/Debian:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Completion/Linux:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Completion/Mandriva:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Completion/Redhat:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Completion/Unix:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Completion/X:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Completion/Zsh:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Exceptions:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/MIME:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Misc:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Newuser:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Prompts:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/TCP:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/VCS_Info:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/VCS_Info/Backends:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Zftp:/usr/local/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions/Zle:/u/q/.zfunc

I'm guessing there's got to be a way to shorten this.

Also, is it normal or okay for an installation of zsh on a FreeBSD system
to have all these Completion subdirs for all these other systems?? :

[shell:~]  [v4.3.9]  zsh/+1  1020 --> print -l $fpath

/u/q/.zfunc

Shouldn't the sysadmin leave the BSD Completion subdir in, and get rid of
the rest of them?  Should I tell him to do that?  Or does it matter?  Are
such extras typically left in?

I think I'm the only one on this small system (of only 30 or 40 logins at
any given time) who uses zsh.
