Yes. You can use
setopt no_prompt_cr
...to prevent zsh from printing a carriage return before its prompt,
like most other shells do.

If you use a recent enough zsh (4.3.0), the option PROMPT_SP is
available and is supposed to do about what everyone expects in about
every case (and has been made the default).


Note that this entry is listed in the FAQ as the most often asked
question about ZSH :p
