Igor,

That explains why I could not find documentation for the "title / 
notitle" command when Thorsten mentioned it: I looked in the man and 
info documentation.

However, in my Cygwin Vim I cannot get a title to show even when I 
":set titlestring=something" and ":set title". I tried suspending and 
resuming Vim, too, but still no title. Vim --version" does indicate 
that it was configured for "+title," so I'm uncertain what I'm doing 
wrong that keeps me from getting a title. Maybe it's being displaced 
through time and space to Anoop's system.
