Re: placing title in cygwin window
Ouch hmm must have been my escapes hiding the message, here it comes
in normal text-mode.. for ease up of reading I assume.. Zip file in
previous mail.

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})'

p.s. included as a text-file in a zip so you can hopefully use so we
are sure we get the correct escapes..
