[ILUG] tip of the day - ZSH

Using Zsh, I was doing an 
rm -f `find . -iname "*.old" -print` 
to delete old stuff from a previous installation of Netscape. After I
finished typing the above command I pressed TAB for some reason(second
nature by this stage), and the shell ran the find command and up popped

./movemail-src/COPYING.old ./movemail-src/movemail.c.old
./movemail-src/README.old ./plugins/cpPack1.jar.old
./plugins/libnullplugin.so.old ./java/classes.old

to replace the find command!

Someone might be interested..

Donncha.
