Hello,
I am an unsophisticated user of zsh. I have used for a couple of years.
I am currently running zsh v2.3.1. I tried to upgrade to zsh-2.6-beta14
but I had a few problems and I wonder if someone out there can help me.
I am using HPUX 9.05:
o I got a compilation error. I changed the file zle_tricky.c line 1684 from
nameddirtab->filltable();
to
nameddirtab->filltable(0);
o I have been using a function that gets called by chpwd that looks
like this:
function print_banner {
print -n "\e]0;$1\a"
}
The purpose of it is to set the title of the xterm to the first parameter.
With zsh 2.6 the title does not change and the string is simply output to
stdout (tty maybe?). I also tried to use a simple program that I have
called xlabel which does the same thing as the print statement above.
I had used xlabel with ksh in the past, but it realy wedged zsh when
I use it in chpwd(). I had this problem with 2.5 as well.
Thanks for your time,

I use the escape feature in the prompt to do this:
PROMPT='%{^[]2;%M:%~\a%}%l %T %h%#'
RPROMPT=' %m:%~'
I define the following so I can turn it on and off at will:
noactiveprompt() { PROMPT='%l %T %h%#' }
activeprompt() { PROMPT='%{^[]2;%M:%~\a%}%l %T %h%#' }
alias nap=noactiveprompt
alias ap=activeprompt

Shouldn't this be \e]2 instead? I have
chpwd () {
print -Pn "\e]2;${HOST}:%~ \a"
}
and this works.

I have the following at the top of my .zshrc :
if [[ $TERM = "xterm" ]] && [[ "`stty size`" != "8 57" ]] then
export PROMPT="%{^[]2;%m:%~%%^G%}%B[%?:%!]%b%# "
else
export PROMPT='%B%m%b:%~%# '
export RPROMPT='[%?:%!]'
fi
the bit of interest is the ^[]2; ... \a which puts the enclosed text in the
title bar of an xterm or screen screen.
don't know about HPUX tho ...
