cshell does that too, at least the versions I've used. (Yes I know it's
not your main point.. just pointing out that it's not a zsh-specific 
thing. I've never heard of zsh actually)

What kinds of things does zsh do that cshell doesn't?

sz `find /tmp -user unknown -print` is a good example that I use fairly
often, especially when my files don't all end in *SHK (in which case I'd just
do "sz *SHK" of course).

	Isn't that backwards? Aren't the history lines in ascending order
chronologically?
