If there was a way to retrieve current title string, sigh. > Unless, of course, I'm missing something here. I'm not seeing that problem here. If I'm sitting on hostA with an xterm window open, the titlebar says "myusername_at_hostA:~". Then when I ssh to hostB, the titlebar changes to "myusername_at_hostB:~". When I exit the shell on hostA, the titlebar changes back to "myusername_at_hostA:~" because the shell on hostA immediately prints the prompt string with the proper escape sequence.Received on Thu Oct 07 2004 - 18:04:54 UTC
