	Hmm, the following works fine here:
	
		echo "^[]2;newname^G"
	
	where ^[ is escape and ^G is Control-g.  What are you trying to do?
	
R3 xterm renaming accepted any non-digit character instead of the
semicolon and any non-printing character instead of the ^G. According
to "clients/xterm/ctlseq2.txt" which came with R4 this is accepted.
However, as several people have pointed out, R4 requires the exact
syntax you described above.
