Thanks again that did the trick.
As for my other problem, I looked at the .zshrc for a while and noticed that
there is a command called setopt. So, I put the following
line in my .zshrc file:
setopt winntconvertbackslash
This did not solve the problem of the back slashes in window's environment
variable.
Instead of using the $HOMEDRIVE$HOMEPATH, I just specify as the path
explicitly. So now, I just have the following line in my
.zprofile:
export MY_OUTPUT_DIR=e:/jobs/$USERNAME (since $USERNAME contains on
backslashes, I avoid the problem entirely)
It would be nice to have this resolve in case I have to actually use the
window's environment variable which contains backslashes.
Thanks again for all your help,
Timothy

In order for the .zprofile to be read, it hss to be a login shell.
Try invoking zsh with a -l argument and see if that helps.
