Do a prompt something like:

 PROMPT=3D"%{=1B];%m:%~=07%}%n@%m:%.<%?> "

It is a bunch of escapes there telling the terminal to put a string in
the title.. Doublecheck when you add it to your login-script that ^[
is ascii 27 and ^G is the ascii for control-g.. whatever it is.. For
more fun, add a, printing the time out to the right..=20

 RPROMPT=3D'%(t.DING!.%D{%H:%M})'


        /Andy

p.s. included as a text-file in a zip so you can hopefully use so we
are sure we get the correct escapes..=20
