Below is a snippet from a TCL script I use to set the title of each new xterm I
create. The key is the ESC sequences...
------------
proc setXTermTitle {title} {
# Set title of the XTERM
puts -nonewline "\033]2;$title\007";
# Set ICON label of XTERM
puts -nonewline "\033]1;$title\007";
}
------------

Ron
