I just recalled a note to you about this subject...
I must be getting postings twice, but here is your answer. I will
check it in a few min, but first:
To change the icon title:
echo "\033P3.yTITLE\033\\"
Just for completeness, here's how to change the wsh title:
echo "\033P1.yTITLE\033\\"

This is what I use to annotate my windows and icons after a cd, pushd,popd. Note this is a built in function in tcsh. You have to alias cd, pushd,popd in csh. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #! /bin/sh TITLE=`pwd` TITLE=`basename $TITLE` echo "\033P3.y${TITLE}\033\\ ""\033P1.y${LOGNAME} on ${HOST} at ${TITLE}\033\\" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have not quite gotten all of the quoted escaped backslashes and escaped quotes to work with a trailing \c to suppress the newline, but the newline after the cd does not look too bad. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | karron@nyu.edu Dan Karron | | . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
