I'm not the zsh person he's talking about... but here's my zsh stuff.
In zsh you can define a preexec() function to be executed just prior to
command execution. See zshmisc(1) for info.
I use:
titlestring='[EMAIL PROTECTED]:%~'
preexec() {
print -Pn "\E]0;$titlestring ${(QVz)2}\007"
}
I also have a precmd() that'll set the title back to a normal prompt
after the command.
