Nuts, I didn't pay any attention to that.  No space, pardon.

How, since you don't have the files?  Hard to duplicate a completion 
since we'll not have identical contents in a directory.

That's what I'm trying to avoid, I just want filename completion.

Here's another example:

5 /aWorking/Zsh/Source/Wk 2 % test[TAB]
Completing external command
Completing executable file
Completing builtin command
test                  test,2,zzz            test.ggb test.ggb,1,tttesting
test,1,zzz            test,3 test.ggb,0,testing

... all of those are very temporary scripts, none are external commands 
or executables or builtins.

But I do get completion of commands too, and I want that to stop. If I 
type 'gim' then press TAB, it completes to 'gimp' with no messages and 
of course gimp is an application.  Files only please. No messages.
