The X11R4 xterm seems to require ";"s in the following typical aliases, where
the X11R3 xterms did not.  The X11R3 xterms, do however, seem to understand the
now-required sequences:

HOSTNICK=machinename
HOMETOKEN=~
alias cwd       'echo $cwd | sed s+\^${HOME}+${HOMETOKEN}+g'
alias .         'header [-${HOSTNICK}- `cwd` ] ; iheader $cwd:t'
alias header    'echo -n "$esc]2;\!*$bel"'
alias iheader   'echo -n "$esc]1;\!*$bel"'
alias icon      'echo -n "$esc]I;\!*$bel"'	# not verified
alias c         'cd \!* ; .'	# Don't alias this to "cd"---bad.
