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.
