i've been using the following in my .bash_profile to place the hostname
etc. in the titlebar with Eterm (and Putty on my PC). i have just two
problems with this. one is that using escape sequences in my prompt
always seems to mess stuff up - the line will wrap over itself if i'm
typing a long command instead of rolling over to the next line.
secondly, this leaves me unable to use the PS1 variable anymore.
thirdly
does anyone have any ideas on how to export $TERM to linux when using
ETERM but not when on the console? is there an easy shell script for
this?
thanks....

if [ $TERM = linux ]
then
PS1='\033]2;\u@\h `pwd` `date` \007$ '
