Currently they all show "Terminal - daniel@bsdbox: > ~", for example. That's shell dependent. You can change an xterm's title by printing a specific character sequence. For example: printf '\033]0;%s\007' 'The title goes here' Then you have to alter the string - to include your working directory - every time you change a line. Check the following page for your shell: http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/Xterm-Title.html HTH, Nikos
