I run with a window manager that displays the applications title. I use the
following sets of csh macros when I change the directory stack, and the title
changes appropriately.

The \033's below, and the \007's should be turned into the appropriate
character.

"in" is used to label the icon.
"wn" is used to label the window.
"pwd" is usually a '>' character.
