I searched the >bash source and didn't find anything... try bash.exe.gz from my page http://gnu-win32.paranoia.ru , then try setting BASH_TITLE (it acts just like PS1 prompt). also try un-setting CYGWIN_TITLE if you really hate it. my preference is export CYGWIN_TITLE=strip export BASH_TITLE='bash - \d - \w' this way i get current date, time and path when in prompt, and command name (paths stripped) when a command is running. - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
