One final alternative is to put a newline in your prompt -- see question
link(3.13)(313) for that.
+ Version 3.0 of zsh includes a workaround: if the tt(PROMPT_SP) option
+ is set, as it is by default, the shell will try to move the cursor to the
+ start of the next screen line. This requires some support from the
+ terminal which is available in most recent terminal emulators.
