Hi Igor,
I added this line in my .bashrc
function settitle() { echo -n "^[]2;[EMAIL PROTECTED];[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; }
now when I write settitle sanjay on my $ , it does not change my title ..
this is what happens
[~]$ settitle sanjay
^[]2;sanjay^G^[]1;sanjay^G[~]$
[~]$
what is it that I am missing ?
Sanjay
