Do a prompt something like: PROMPT="%{^[];%m:%~^G%}%n@%m:%.<%?> " It is a bunch of escapes there telling the terminal to put a string in the title.. Doublecheck when you add it to your login-script that ^[ is ascii 27 and ^G is the ascii for control-g.. whatever it is.. For more fun, add a, printing the time out to the right.. RPROMPT='%(t.DING!.%D{%H:%M})' /Andy p.s. included as a text-file in a zip so you can hopefully use so we are sure we get the correct escapes.. / Andrew Markebo wrote: | -- | Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple | Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html | Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html | FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ -- The eye of the beholder rests on the beauty! -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
