My personal favorite bash function.  It places the host name and 
current working directory in the title bar of the xterm every time you cd.  
Of course you have to cd to after you telnet/logout, but I find the
simplicity 
makes up for the this slight annoyance.  On systems where you use different 
account names, a `whoami` can be easily added. 

Does anyone of of a ksh command equivalent to the bash builtin?  I have
looked 
and looked and never found it, although I assume it must be there.

function  cd  ()
{
        builtin cd  $1
        if [ $TERM = "xterm" ] ;
        then
                echo -e "ESC]2;`hostname`   $PWD^G\c"
        fi
}
