I recently upgraded my Linux OS, and so also got from Z-Shell version
2.4 beta to version 3.0.
Now, the changing of the prompt does not work anymore.
It's always set to prompt='%n@%m:/ihpuser/u7/grimm > ',
even if I change it with export PROMPT.
Why is that ?
Regards, Oliver Grimm.

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?

I am using SUSE LINUX 6.0, installed from RPM. I give the export PROMPT
command expicitly in my .zshrc, nothing is coming afterwards anymore,
so it should be the last setting of the PROMPT. Even if I give PROMPT
interactively, it does not change.
