There _was_ a command. > Digging around a bit, it looks like it'd be "<ESC>[21t", with > <ESC> replaced with 0x1b. I haven't tested that, though... If you check src/command.c, you'll see that it's commented out (at least in the CVS version). This was done for security reasons to prevent rogue applications from stuffing data into the command line from the title. XFetchName() in src/main.c is only used for optimization to avoid setting the title if the new and the old titles are equal. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin
