The last two statements do work. You probably have something wrong in the precmd or prompt. Try to remove stuff from your startup files until the problem disappears. An example which can cause such things: hzoli /l/src/zsh-RCS/Src % local '$USERNAME' zsh: not an identifier: $USERNAME hzoli /l/src/zsh-RCS/Src % local '/tmp' zsh: not an identifier: /tmp hzoli /l/src/zsh-RCS/Src % local 'hello' hzoli /l/src/zsh-RCS/Src % Zoli
