I wish to use the "\033]0;%s\007" sequence in a shell-script to

My requirement is that this must be done without using anything
outside the base system.
There is an escape sequence which will cause the terminal to echo
back its current title, but it's a bit tricky to use given only
base-system tools because the echo ends with, IIRC, \007 rather
than \n. It may be possible in some shells to temporarily set the
line-end character to \007. You probably also want to (somehow)
cover problematic cases like terminals that don't reply to the
inquiry even though TERMCAP implies that they should.
% printf "\033]0;Title Here\007"
What's the sequence for reading the terminal title?
