Re: changing cygwin's console window title

["Lee Maschmeyer" <lee_maschmeyer at wayne dot edu>]

Using the console window, I keep the Cygwin window title the same as much as 
I can. It works pretty well (for the commands I happen to use) by setting 
notitle in the CYGWIN variable and putting these lines in .bashrc:

   settitle() { printf %s $'\033'"]2;$@"$'\007\033'"]1;$@"$'\007'; }
   export PROMPT_COMMAND='settitle "Cygwin Bash shell"'
