A program was posted on comp.os.vms that shows how to change the
labeling of a window and its associated icon in DecWindows. This
program works nicely but it must be run on the processor (and in
the process) that controls the window you want to label.

This is close but not quite what I want. What I'd like is to be
able to change the labeling "on the fly" from a remote host by sending
an escape sequence (from the remote host) that will be interpreted
by the DecWindows Server on my workstation. Is this possible?
I've heard that Vol 3. of the O'Reilly books covers Xterm escape
sequences but I don't have that book and even if I did I'm not sure
if what it says would apply to DecTerm.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks,
