Try echo or printf, and try `help echo', `/bin/echo --help', and so forth, for more of their options. For example, echo -e '\E]0;blah\a' changed my window title to 'blah'. \033 is universally accepted as ESC, but you will see that some programs allow the shortcut \E or ^[. If you want the prompt to change the window title automatically, look at how /etc/profile (or /etc/default/etc/profile) is manipulating $PS1 to get that effect. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
