    OK. I finally used this solution, but added an option to the
script so I can use '\0' or '\n' as the separator, and after that
I've setup an alias:

    myalias='reply=( ${(f)"$(script)"} ) ; print -l $reply'

    This way I can use 'reply' for storing the list of files when the
shell is interactive, and if I use 'script' within another script, I
just write the above. I can use the script with the option of using
NULL's as separator and pipe the output thru 'xargs' or the like.

    Thanks a lot for your invaluable help, Bart :))

    In case anyone is interested, the script shuffles a list of MP3
files and chooses a set to fit some given size (for example, the
space available in your MP3 player, a 74minutes CD, etc. I had it
implemented as a couple of shell functions, but I needed to make it
an script, that's why I made so much noise in the list.

    I'm going to release under GPL this and a few other scripts in
some weeks, just in case someone wants to take a look. There is very
good code in the scripts, but almost all of them came from the mind
of Bart, so please bother him with the acknowledgements XDD
