This does that for me:
export PS1="\[\e]2;\h:\w\007\e[1;36m\]\h [\[\e[1;35m\]\w\[\e[1;36m\]] \u $
\[\e[1;33m\]"
(Note that you need to have such a prompt on every computer you telnet to,
as well -- they're the ones that send the ANSI sequences to your terminal
client to set the title.)

Subject: bash window title - can I add hostname to it?
I've been starting to use the telnet feature in cygwin's inetutils a lot
lately,
and it would be great if I could learn how to set the label of the bash
window
to include hostname as well as the current directory it displays now.
I can't tell which of the two bash windows is which since both are running a
24 hour long FPGA compile..
Is there a way to do this?
I'd be happy if it was a copy of the "PS1" value..
