RE: [UV] Change prompt?
I could share the code - but it is specifically for the TeemTalk emulator. The program simply prints an escape sequence which causes TeemTalk to run a script. The escape sequence is followed by an argument which contains the required title for the window (in this case @WHO). The Teemtalk script then sets the window title to the value of the passed argument.

RE: [UV] Change prompt?
Because we use wIntegrate, I settled (at least for now) on a BASIC program
in each account's LOGIN PA (see program below) which changes the window
title.
The only drawback is when you LOGTO another account that does not have the
magic LOGIN paragraph, the window title does not change. If only you could
set an exit account event.
* Sets the text of the wIntegrate title bar to show the current ACCOUNT.
RUN.SCRIPT = 0
IF TRANS('VOC','WIN.HSCRIPT',@ID,'X') THEN RUN.SCRIPT += 1 ELSE PRINT
'HDR2ACCT: this account lacks WIN.HSCRIPT'
IF TRANS('VOC','WIN.SETLIST',@ID,'X') THEN RUN.SCRIPT += 1 ELSE PRINT
'HDR2ACCT: this account lacks WIN.SETLIST'
IF TRANS('VOC','WIN.COMSUB',@ID,'X') THEN RUN.SCRIPT += 1 ELSE PRINT
'HDR2ACCT: this account lacks WIN.COMSUB'
IF RUN.SCRIPT EQ 3 THEN
XSCRIPT = ''
XSCRIPT-1 = 'configure'
XSCRIPT-1 = 'store Title = ':UPCASE(@WHO):' / ':DOWNCASE(@LOGNAME):' -
@ is |'
XSCRIPT-1 = 'update'
CALL WIN.HSCRIPT(XSCRIPT)
END
STOP
END

We have a development account which is a verbatim copy of yesterday's production environment so it's pretty easy to forget where you are. I ended up writing a basic program that replaces the UV prompt with the currect directory name. I also added code to duplicate all the command stack functionality (.X, .C, .D) because I use those commands frequently. I'd be happy to share the code.

Another method if you are using a terminal emulator is to use the login paragrah to change the title of the session at the top of the screen.

RE: [UV] Change prompt?
Just a minor correction. Provided you have set your terminal type to a matching entry in the SYS.TERMINALS file, the correct keybindings will be mapped. For example, if your terminal type is set to vt220, this load the VT220.IKBIND from SYS.TERMINALS. This is the only one I have tested.

In UV 10.0.x and above (IIRC), the COMMAND.EDITOR was ported from Prime INFORMATION/PIOpen (albeit with more than a few bugs!). This command allows you to change the TCL prompt with a character string of your choice... COMMAND.EDITOR ON ALL MyAccount MyAccount COMMAND.EDITOR Allows you to use function keys (like cursor keys) to edit not your command-line (TCL), but also in BASIC programs (ie. at INPUT statements/prompts). It is also good for new users who keep press all those functions keys that do nothing except insert escape sequences everywhere! :-) Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have implement all the nice features of the PI version and the keyboard mapping only seems to support fundamental mode (EMACS-style control-keys).
