No, `$P$G' is the default DOS (or whatever they call it these days)
prompt. In COMMAND.COM, $P is the full path to the current directory,
while $G is a `>' sign. It's stored in the same environment variable,
PROMPT, which is why you're getting it.
By the way, I ended up sticking `set HOME=/home' in AUTOEXEC.BAT as the
easiest way to give zsh a sensible home directory.
I never thought I'd use so much M*cr*s*ft language in one email.
