But it isn't, it's just to get around terminal weirdness (e.g. a very small terminal); it's not designed as an alternative fully-functional mode.
I'm at home at the moment not at work and I can't log into my WS from home but I did take the output of setopt and unsetopt yesterday so that I oculd study it at home and this is what I see:
I am not sure of the usefullness of unsetopt and the no prefix but I guess someone once thought it was neat.. Old habits die hard ;-)
Back to single line. this line is in the output: nosinglelinezle off If no is off then singlelinezle must be on.I'll check it tomorrow and change it and let you know if this changes anything.
Thanks again! Jerry
