| I have outsmarted M-x grep's /dev/null appending:
| (grep "zgrep -n -e TLS main*|colrm 77 #") for example.
| Making zgrep -n -e TLS main*|colrm 77 # /dev/null
| be what gets executed. You might want to document this workaround, or
| better yet, stop appending the /dev/null hack.
I would use quotes around expression:
... -e 'TLS main*|colrm 77 #'
The /dev/null is unavoidable (because of old grep/egrep implementations)
