Writing zsh scripts on (CYGwin

Writing zsh scripts on (CYGwin

[zzapper]

Hi,
I'm just trying my first zsh scripts. (in fact converting bash
scripts)

However when I set the script to zsh rather than bash, I'm getting
errors on blank lines (amongst other things)' although written using
Vim in Unix mode.

I guess zsh needs some flag set

zsh 4.1.1 (i686-pc-cygwin)

Please don't tell me to RTFM as I'm too early in the learning curve to
find my way round the zsh help yet (tho' please let me where I schould
have looked)

I was wrong my VIM editor was ending lines with Dos-Returns. When I
used dos2unix my scripts ran fine. It would seem that unlike bash, zsh
is sensitive to DOS returns. Is there an option to tell zsh to treat
dos-returns as unix returns????
