Re: exit to shell from nested function calls.



The Bolsky & Korn KornShell book is a good start, actually. Lots of stuff zsh has added that's not in there, but as far as first principles go ...

whether it's simple enough to become a function.

Forgot to mention, you can also get the best of both worlds by writing a function with sections (up to even the whole function body) wrapped in subshell parens.
My whole project of trying to learn zsh 'as you go', was wrong from the start.  There are things like the above that can only be learned by instruction -- or by endless grief.  Need zsh classroom where the teacher knows what you need to know before you know you need to know it.  A very good book would be nice too.
