the right way to go would be something like :

the current way :
PS1=3D$(print '\033]0;${PWD}\n\033[32m${USER}@${HOSTNAME}=20
\033[33m${PWD}\033[0m\n$ ')

w/ tilde expansion as bash does :
TILDE=3D\~
PS1=3D$(print=20
'\033]0;${TILDE[(1-0${PWD%%@([!/]*|${HOME}*)}1)]:-}${PWD#${HOME}}\n\033[32m=
${USER}@${HOSTNAME}=20
\033[33m${TILDE[(1-0${PWD%%@([!/]*|${HOME}*)}1)]:-}${PWD#${HOME}}\033[0m\n$=
=20
')

so, you can still print the file w/o side effects
