+This version of zsh has two ways of performing completion of words on the
+command line.  New users of the shell may prefer to use the newer
+and more powerful system based on shell functions; this is described in
+zmanref(zshcompsys), and the basic shell mechanisms which support it are
+described in zmanref(zshcompwid).  This manual entry describes the older
+tt(compctl) command.
