I think this sort of thing is really better done with shell script
wrappers, configuring your shell to do tab-completion of folders, etc.
(For example, I have some shell aliases that allow me to omit the '+'
completely because they prepend it automatically to arguments which
are valid folder names; this makes it easier to use nmh with speech
recognition software.)
Agreed, using "+folder" on scripts like the one I sent some hours ago
is not difficult. If I remember, the nmh tarball has some COMPLETION-*
files with the changes that must be added to the shell initialization
files to complete folder names.
I am not against the proposal of Norman, but certainly this change
should not be required for shell scripting or argument completion.
Best regards,
Igor.
