Okay, thanks.  I've got myself onto the list now, so I'll stay subscribed
for at least long enough to catch any replies (longer if I get keen :-)).

Thanks very much.

Sorry, I'd failed to mention I've already got a hack (some lines in .zshrc) 
so that just typing "exit" does approximately the desired thing.  I was
just a bit unsure about posting code to the list, but in case it's useful
here it is (see below).  It works, but it would be nice to avoid hackiness.

Happy Christmas.
