Here is my KSH(ell) function to replace cd with one to put
the current working dir in your title bar. Works great for me ...

--------------------------------------
alias cd=ccd

function ccd
{
	\cd $1;
	if [ "$TERM" = "xterm" ]; then
		print -n "ESC]2;$PWD^G"
	else
		print "$PWD"
	fi
}
--------------------------------------

Enjoy,
Sandy Walsh
