I just include $WINDOW (which is defined in the environment by screen)
in bash's PS1 (prompt) variable. E.g.,
if test x"$WINDOW" != x""; then
SCREEEN_PS1="($WINDOW)"
else
SCREEEN_PS1=""
fi
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;[EMAIL
PROTECTED]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]${SCREEEN_PS1}\$
'
This results in the prompt looking like (for screen window 1):
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~(1)$
What I want to do is instead of it showing the number of the screen, to
have it show the title I've assigned that window via C-a A. All I need
in order to do this is to know how to access that information from
screen given the $WINDOW number (I can use bash's $PROMPT_COMMAND to set
PS1 dynamically). E.g.,:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~(compile)$

I played around with this but couldn't seem to get it to react - is this
for setting the title in an xterm?
