Hmmm... Haven't seen that behaviour.  Check the properties of the
shortcut and see what the command string is.  It might be helpful to tar
up the shortcut itself and send it to me for analysis.  Let's also verify
the zsh.bat file is correct, so send a copy of it too.

Here's something else to try:
Open a DOS Command Prompt window, then type the command string that's in
the shortcut (this is almost literally what the shortcut does).  Do you
get the same symptoms (ie: the word OFF and nothing more)?  If not, then
it's something related to the shortcut.  If, however, you get the same
results, then it's something related to zsh configuration and I'll
probably need more information about your environment at that point.

It's supposed to be.  What options did you specify to mkzsh originally.

I'll try and reproduce this when I get your files.
