Thanks, I'll try it tomorrow.
>As to ... I fail to see why it shouldn't use cygwin...
I didn't mean to say the application COULDN'T run under cygwin. Its
logistics and politics. I don't have rights on that NT server to
install any new software - including cygwin. Cygwin is on my own
desktop, but the servers I can't touch.

Check the value of PS1 in the default /etc/profile -- it sets the title.
I use the same principle in this handy function
function settitle() { echo -n "^[]2;$@^G^[]1;$@^G"; }
in my .bashrc, and use that when I need to dynamically change the title.
The ^[ is actually the ESC character (\033), and the ^G is the BEL
character (\007).
As for whatever application you need to run under NT, I fail to see why
it
shouldn't use cygwin... As long as cygwin1.dll is in the path, you can
call the app from NT scripts all you want. You can also use something
akin to 'cygpath -u' if you want your app to recognize windows file and
path names.

It took the computational power of three Commodore 64s to fly to the

It takes a 486 to run Windows 95. Something is wrong here. -- SC sig
