Yes, I spent about 2 hours today figuring out how to get my old bash 
functions automatically loaded. Previously, I was just using 'source' to 
load the old bash files which, from what I gathered, is not the best way 
with zsh.

I'm thinking there is probably a good tutorial out there for bash->zsh 
converts. i'll google around. If you know of any offhand, please let me 
know.

Now you've got me wondering. While I was bumbling around today, I 
noticed I had an ~/.oh-my-zsh/.zshrc file. I'm only using the ~/.zshrc 
file, though. It has just one line: 
ZSH_THEME="powerlevel9k/powerlevel9k". I'm guessing that's the default 
because I don't remember editing it.

So what is the "real" .zszhrc supposed to be?

OK, thanks for the feedback.
