I'd much rather the prompt change. The title isn't always visible, and even if it is, it isn't always obvious. When I'm ssh'ing around the network, changing the title is a small convenience (since that means the "running programs" list shows who I'm logged in as), but changing the prompt is critical, because I see that right there as I start typing. Fortunately, every Unix shell I've ever used lets me have both - title AND prompt - so there need be no mistake. (Of course, that still doesn't stop me fat-fingering and bringing services down on the live system instead of the test...) ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
