Randall,
I believe the title/notitle Thorsten meant was the option in the CYGWIN
environment variable, and had nothing to do with vim.
As for vim, when TERM=cygwin, the title of the Cygwin console is not
changed, but I think this is related to the incomplete terminfo entry for
cygwin. If you set TERM=xterm (in the Cygwin console), vim *will* set the
title (I used the example in "help title").
