To place your current working directory in the title bar you should set
up the following in your .login file:

alias setp 'set hwd=$cwd; set prompt = "<ctrl>[[1m<\! %<ctrl>[[0m <ctrl>[P1.y${hwd} <ctrl>[\\"'

alias cd 'cd \!*; setp'



NOTE: <ctrl>[ (type the control key and the left square bracket)

<ctrl>[[1m set the text attributes to bold
<\! will place a <# in your prompt where # is the current command number
<ctrl>[[0m will set the text attributes back to normal
<ctrl>[P1.y.....<ctrl>[\\ will place the desired ... in the title bar.



NOTE: I was given the above info from an associate here at AEDC.
