Not that surprising. Look at functions like get-output-stream-string, call-process and make-string-output-stream. OTOH have a peek into /etc/bashrc to see how bash is using PROMPT_COMMAND to modify a title of terminal window. If you are thinking about windows of that sort that could be quite a bit simpler.
