The prompt I gave is not my actual prompt.  I typically include other
variables (color escape codes, set earlier in the script depending on
the value of TERM) which need to get interpolated before the
assignment to PROMPT.

As an interim solution, I've just unset autonamedirs.

Why the print statement?? Here's my whole setup, uncluding
xterm title setting...

PROMPT='%B[%l] %n@%m %1v %b(%B%h%b)%B %t%b '
if [[ $TERM = xterm || $TERM = vs100 || $TERM_PROGRAM = OS_Terminal ]] ; then
  RPROMPT="%B(%~)%b%{^[]2;%n@%m:[%(7c|...%6c|%7c)]^G%}"
else
  RPROMPT="%B(%~)%b"
fi

# RPROMPT="%B(%~)%b%{^[]2;%n@%m:[%(7c|...%6c|%7c)]^G%}"

function precmd {
  setopt no_ksh_arrays local_options

    0.[5-9]*) psvar[1]=';^]' ;;

PWD in prompt

[Matthew Lovell]

I'm having an odd problem with zsh-3.1.5.  My prompt definition is
basically as follows: 

 # set the prompt
 PROMPT=$(print "\%n\@\%m:\%~\\n%1v%% ");

Under 3.1.5, the %~ is constantly getting expressed as ~PWD.  It's not 
very useful to know that I'm always in ~PWD.  Is there anyway to
prevent this from happening, while still getting ~ "compression" when
appropriate? 

Thanks,
  Matt
