I haven't been able to figure this one out; sorry for asking such a dumb
question. I generally put pretty much all my stuff in my .zshrc. i've
noticed that if i do something like:
PATH=$PATH:/dh/bin
or whatever, each time i open a new shell (ie if i type 'zsh') my new shell
has the arg appended twice, so it would be something like:
yakko% zsh
yakko% echo $PATH
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/dh/bin:/dh/bin
however if i open a root shell (ie sudo zsh) using sudo, the path is only
appended once (i guess this is treated as a new login shell or whatever).
I can solve this by putting the line in my .zprofile or .zlogin instead; however then,
when I type 'sudo zsh', the extra item isn't appended at all. if i put it in
~root/.zprofile it doesn't work either.
is there a simple solution i'm overlooking here?

Use the `path' array instead of the PATH scalar, and use `typeset -U'.
typeset -U path
path=($path /dh/bin)
Recent versions of zsh, e.g. 3.1.9/4.0.x, also allow `typeset -U' of a
colon-separated scalar like PATH, but the above will work in most 3.0.x
versions as well.
