Just to wind up the string I started. Titles in vim are now working perfectly.
My current ~/.vimrc contains (in part) set title set titleold="" set titlestring=VIM:\ %F This works perfectly to display the name of the file I am editing and returns to a standard titlebar display of Shell - Konsole <2> upon exit. It was the titlestring I had to research to get right. Thanks to all for your help. Larry -- Larry Alkoff N2LA - Austin TX Using Thunderbird on Linux
