Re: Help help, prompt problems here!

Hello!

Thank you, Bart and Peter, for all your worthy input!
I've come up with this prompt, and it's working just fine.

But how can I turn it:

PROMPT=$'%{\e[01;34m%}(%{\e[22;34m%}%n%{\e[01;30m%}@%{\e[22;34m%}%m%{\e[01;34m%}
)%{\e[01;34m%}%{\e[01;34m%}(%{\e[22;34m%}%D{%H:%M}%{\e[01;30m%}:%{\e[22;34m%}%D{
%m/%d/%y}%{\e[01;34m%})%{\e[01;30m\e[00m%}%{\n%}%{\e[01;34m%}(%{\e[22;34m%}%#%{\
e[01;30m%}:%{\e[22;34m%}%~%{\e[01;34m%})%{\e[01;30m\e[00m%} '

Into split lines like these, just to make it look prettier?

PROMPT=$'%{\e[01;34m%}(%{\e[22;34m%}%n%{\e[01;30m%}@'\
       $'%{\e[22;34m%}%m%{\e[01;34m%})%{\e[01;34m%}%{\e[01;34m%}('\
       $'%{\e[22;34m%}%D{%H:%M}%{\e[01;30m%}:%{\e[22;34m%}%D{%m/%d/%y}'\
       $'%{\e[01;34m%})%{\e[01;30m\e[00m%}%{\n%}%{\e[01;34m%}('\
       $'%{\e[22;34m%}%#%{\e[01;30m%}:%{\e[22;34m%}%~%{\e[01;34m%})'\
       $'%{\e[01;30m\e[00m%} '

That one returns this error:
/etc/zshrc:35: command not found: %{^[[22;34m%}%m%{^[[01;34m%})%{^[[01;34m%}%{^[[01;34m%}(

Yeah, back to the original problem. I still have it.
I don't have an zshenv, just zshrc and a zlogout containing 'clear'.

I'll try that, thanks!
