On other systems, I have my shell put the current working directory in the title bar of the window. I want also to do this with my wsh'es on the Iris. Is it possible? We're running Irix 3.3.1 with 4Sight 1.5 (I think). X windows doesn't currently work at all, so I can't just run an xterm. Dan Wallach dwallach@soda.berkeley.edu P.S. Please don't reference any Iris manuals. Berkeley has decided that those of us in the graphics classes can't be trusted with a manual set in the Iris lab. We'd just naturally steal them. Sadly, I can't just RTFM.

To place your current working directory in the title bar you should set
up the following in your .login file:
alias setp 'set hwd=$cwd; set prompt = "<ctrl>[[1m<\! %<ctrl>[[0m <ctrl>[P1.y${hwd} <ctrl>[\\"'
alias cd 'cd \!*; setp'
NOTE: <ctrl>[ (type the control key and the left square bracket)
<ctrl>[[1m set the text attributes to bold
<\! will place a <# in your prompt where # is the current command number
<ctrl>[[0m will set the text attributes back to normal
<ctrl>[P1.y.....<ctrl>[\\ will place the desired ... in the title bar.
NOTE: I was given the above info from an associate here at AEDC.
