3.  I can't figure out printf (or 'print -f').  If I type % printf

understand why the special characters, nor where to look to find out
about them.

Perhaps you have a preexec function defined that sets your xtermstitle using an escape sequence, it probably looks like this:


 print -n "\e]2;$mytitle\C-g"

If that's true you can fix your problem by changing this to:

 print -n "\e]2;${(q)mytitle}\C-g"
