Subject: Re: cygwin chere not working with zsh version 4.3.10 but worked for 4.3.9

gentlemen:
Following your instructions, I discovered that there was some old junk
in my .zshrc file that was causing this problem. I've been using zsh for
about 15 years now (and probably only utilizing about 1% of its
functionality) and have lots of cruft in my zshrc.
Thanks again!
