Well, thank you Martin. I don't have anything complex; just some aliases
different from what's already in /root/.zshrc. Now that I've found where to put
mine I'm happy.
Apart, that is, from another problem I seem to have caused for myself. But
this is now OT re the original thread, so if I want to say more I'll start
another thread with it.
Thanks again.
