But I can't believe that  zsh doesn't have some simple way of
writing some string to the prompt line and just leaving it there.

print -z hello

Mikael,

Thanks, that's exactly what I want. Now I can just create my commandinside the script, save it as '$string' and: 'print -z $string' doesthe trick. I expected the answer would be dead simple but it is amazinghow hard it can be to find an answer to even something so basic. It'smostly a question of knowing how to express the problem. The way I'veexpressed it, people seem to think I'm looking for something complicated.
