Nope, it's all about the case insensitivity.

Mirabile dictu, it works!  Pretty byzantine tho, I wonder if there's an 
easier way.  Still I'll take it, thanks.  I understand the code except 
for the ':-', what does that do?  Oh, right about the double brackets, I 
keep forgetting that.

Roman:

2 /aWorking/Zsh/Source/Wk 3 % md temp  # in addition to /Temp

2 /aWorking/Zsh/Source/Wk 3 % [[ -d ''(#i)Temp(#qN) ]] && echo "it's a 
directory"

2 /aWorking/Zsh/Source/Wk 3 % rm -r temp

2 /aWorking/Zsh/Source/Wk 3 % [[ -d ''(#i)Temp(#qN) ]] && echo "it's a 
directory"
it's a directory

... seems to fail with more than one match, exactly as desired. Seems 
perfect unless there' some gotcha.
