    Hi.  I noticed that a program running under a pty managed by xterm
    could set the titlebar by outputting an escape code.  I wrote a
    really quick program to do this.  Has anyone else looked at this?
    Is there a better program around?  The typical use is to put
    something like 

	alias cd 'cd \!*; xswt $cwd'
	alias pushd 'pushd \!*; xswt $cwd'
	alias popd 'popd \!*; xswt $cwd'
	xswt $cwd

    in your .cshrc file.

Thanks,

/mtr
