Can anyone tell me how to rename the title bar of xterm when using telnet so that it displays the name of the host machine you are logging into ? I have tried using an alias command of the form alias telnet 'echo $ ; \telnet' (control characters omitted from echo) This doesn't seem to work as the word designator doesn't display the last argument of the original command but that of the echo command i.e. $ itself.
