I've got a slight problem with having the host/directory/etc on the
title bar. It will help clear my zsh right-prompt, of course.
But how do you set the title bar *back* to the name of the xterm?
(My xterms are titled "Mail", "Net", "Hacking", "Scratch", and so
forth.) Is there a way of using xtset/xtermset to retrieve the
-n "Name"??
thanks,
gary
