need help with compctl for NT

hi,
I want to complete (For zsh 3.0.x only) the command "net stop" with the
output
of the command "net start". The output looks something like this:
These Windows 2000 services are started:
Computer Browser
Logical Disk Manager
Messenger
Net Logon
Workstation
The command completed successfully.
I came up with a completion that seems to work:
'c[-1,stop]' -s "$(net.exe start|grep.exe -v ^T|sed.exe -ne
's/\([A-Z][a-zA
-Z].*\)/"\1"/p')" \
The only problem is that this completion only collects the output of "net
start"
on shell startup. I would like the list to be updated every time i run "net
stop ..."
I tried using -K with a function like so:
function fooger {
IFS=\t\n
reply=(`net.exe start|grep.exe -v ^T|sed.exe -ne
's/\([A-Z][a-zA-Z].*\)/"\1"
/p'`); }
the problem with this approach is that it ignores the quotes and seperates
the
words anyway.
Thus, "Computer Browser" becomes
"Computer
Browser"
i.e, 2 separate array elements.
Firstly, is my assumption that the function will run every time i type
"net stop <tab>" correct ?
If yes, then is there any way to get what I want to actually work ?
thanks,.

PS:
If all this is really confusing here's the bottom line:
How do i get a completion to be the dynamically updated output
from an external command, where the command output may
contain components with whitepace (just space usually) ?
