I'd like to thank all the people we replied to my query on changing
the title in the title bar in twm. Many of the replies said that this was
done via escape sequence. Tom LaStrange was kind enough to send the code
for mytitle.c. It too does the title change via escape sequences. As for doing
it via Xlib calls, I put this together. I have no idea if this better or
worse than escape squences; I wrote it only to see if it could be done.
BTW, if anyone is interested in what I got, send me an email message.
Thanks again,
franco
