- I have a small script which you run from inside an xterm which changes it's
- name in the window title bar and on the icon. I got the escape codes need
- from the file ctlseqs.ms which came with the xterm source. Hope this is
- useful.

- ------- script xtermname :
- #!/bin/csh
- # change the name of an xterm to the first argument.
- # run this in the xterm whose name you want to change
