zsh overwrites non-newline-terminated output?

zsh overwrites non-newline-terminated output?

[Jon McAuliffe]

i read the FAQ and manpage but could not determine how to adjust the following
behavior:


host:~/work [15] /bin/zsh
host:~/work [1] echo -n fafa
host:~/work [2] exit

host:~/work [16] /bin/sh
$ echo -n fafa
fafa$ exit

host:~/work [17] /bin/bash
bash$ echo -n fafa
fafabash$ exit

host:~/work [18] /bin/csh
csh% echo -n fafa
fafacsh% exit

host:~/work [19] /usr/local/bin/tcsh
host:~/work [2] echo -n fafa
fafahost:~/work [3] exit


how do i tell zsh not to overwrite the output? please email replies to me
directly, as i am not a member of this list.

thanks
jon.

This should really go into the FAQ :-) (I asked it a few weeks ago).

If it does go in the FAQ, it should include a note that RPROMPT (RPS1)
does not work correctly unless PROMPT (PS1) starts at far left.  Thus
if you use RPS1, you either need setopt promptcr, or you need a newline
in PS1 somewhere.
