In zsh the parameters prompt, PROMPT, and PS1 are all synonyms -- if any of them is changed, the others are as well. Depending on how you start zsh, a value for PS1 may be getting exported into the environment after your setting of PROMPT. For example, the startup files for the bash shell often export a PS1 setting. Which Linux distribution are you using? Did you install zsh from an RPM? -- Bart Schaefer Brass Lantern Enterprises http://www.well.com/user/barts http://www.brasslantern.com
