Uhm, oops, my fault. There were 8-bit characters in that script that
I didn't mention. I don't know what you saw, but what you should have
seen was:
set_titlebar () { echo -n "^[]2;$*^G"; }
Here ^[ and ^G actually have to be real control characters not a ^
followed by a G or [. To type these into a file in emacs, you can use
C-q C-g for ^G and C-q C-[ for ^[. If this doesn't make sense to you,
ask and I'll explain in more detail. You can get the same effect from
a bash prompt with C-q Cv:
quoted-insert (C-q, C-v)
Add the next character that you type to the line
verbatim. This is how to insert characters like
C-q, for example.
Let me know if this doesn't help.
