Make sure you do not have "notitles" set in /etc/make.conf -- i think it disables the feature you're trying to get. I also think there may be .screenrc options to control this... in my /etc/screenrc i have: # special xterm hardstatus: use the window title. termcapinfo xterm 'hs:ts=\E]2;:fs=\007:ds=\E]2;screen\007' Thanks, Paul
