I think I would prefer to stick to directories which group together commands which users will generally have all or none of as it is easier to specify whether you want a whole directory than to pick and choose from specific commands taking each on their own. I expect that it is fairly rare for someone to use rpm on something other than Linux. Would there be problems involved in making the installation of the functions intelligently only pick out completions for commands which exist on the system? > (And now Andrej comes and > says that we should put all the GNU commands on the side... which > wouldn't work with the ordering-by-what-they-do, of course.

It keeps things all together better than if we say had 10 different completions for the same command on different systems so it is easier to make useful changes affect all the different systems where they have commonality. It is common for GNU stuff to be installed alongside originals, sometimes in a different directory and sometimes with a different name and it would be important to me that completion for these works. I've attached my AIX specific completions. I haven't put them in cvs or anything but when you (or whoever) come to sort out the directories, a place could be found for them (and those FreeBSD ones someone sent yesterday). I've actually got a few more AIX (and IRIX) completions but they are very old (pre-_arguments) and could really do with a rewrite. Oliver
