BTW, I sent this yesterday and it came back as spam, so trying again.

Third try:

Gentlemen:

'zmv' changes my prompt:

      4 /boot 4$ . zmv ...
      ...
      $_tty $_blu/boot $_mag4$

I need to restart the shell to get it back.

Here's my prompt:

     PS1=$'\n$_tty $_blu%d $_mag%L%{\e[0m%}$ %{\e[0m%}'

... so the above is taking things literally.  For example, '$_blu' is 
set as:

     _blu=$'%{\e[1;34m%}'

Anything I can do about that? zmv is the only function I've yet seen that does this.
