Re: changing bash window title

Hi,
the bash window has title Cygwin by default .. whenever I do a telnet or
lynx .. it changes the title .. how do I restore it again or change it to
something custom ..

You can do a


$ cmd /c title whatever

To change the title. I have a bash script named "t" that contains the line "cmd /c title bash" in my path. Every time my title is messed up (almost always after using lynx), I simply type "t" and the title is restored.

Not as politically correct as the "^[e;!@#$%^&*" alternative but it works.
