I cannot reproduce it. Are you sure it is not reset in any other startup
file?
I've looked into it some more, and found the culprit. I had the following
line earlier on:
typeset -U FPATH
which obviously makes the parameter local as a side effect. I've changed it
to -Ug now which is working fine.
Having looked back at the info documentation, I suspect what confused me
into leaving the -g out is the bit that says 'This flag does not affect the
parameter after creation':
The -g (global) flag is treated specially: it means that any
resulting parameter will not be restricted to local scope. Note
that this does not necessarily mean that the parameter will be
global, as the flag will apply to any existing parameter (even if
unset) from an enclosing function. This flag does not affect the
parameter after creation, hence it has no effect when listing
existing parameters, nor does the flag +g have any effect except
in combination with -m (see below).
Anyhow, thanks for the help.
Martin.
