Hello Barry,
Following your advice I get:  dencar (~) $  at the prompt. The aterm titlebar 
reads: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ which is correct. Can you help further with the prompt 
to have it specify user dennis, please. TIA. BTW there is a script in 
~/.bashrc to change the window title of X terminals, which I assume is 
producing the titlebar entry I mentioned.
