If I remembered it I'd have included it :)

The first 3 results from Googling "xterm escape sequences" are

  rtfm.etla.org/xterm/ctlseq.html

  www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/Xterm-Title.html

  www.kitebird.com/csh-tcsh-book/ctlseqs.pdf

I'd expect it to be in at least one of them.

(#4 may be a miss, but the next 5 also look promising.)
