displaying folder name in xterm title
hi mutters, is there a way to change xterm's title according to the folder currently opened in a mutt so that it updates correctly whenever the folder inside of mutt is changed? probably some folder-hook magic that can execute shell commands and issue appropriate echo with escape sequences and folder's name to change the title? thanx, martin -- King of Swamp Castle: This is supposed to be a happy occasion.

Hi, There must be a way. It should just be a matter of sending the right escape sequence to the terminal. You can probably do this in the status_format. I think the escape sequences are as follows: \033]0;whatever you want in the title\007 There are also escape sequences for the window name and the icon name. Probably \033]1; and \033]2; respectively. I'm not sure which is which. But googling it should reveal something.

You can probably do this in the status_format. The question's come up a few times - I don't recall the answer, myself. It has to be done outside the normal screen operations since those would translate the escape sequence into readable form.

That's likely (they're documented in a number of places including of course xterm). -- Thomas E. Dickey [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net
