Gnu-win32 mailing list archives: Re: bash window banner


Is there a way, on winNT, to get bash to set the title/banner?

Like Tom (see note attached) I like to set the title to $PWD.

Sergey's newer cygwin.dll's have an option (suggested by me *blush*)
where setting the environment variable CYGWIN_NOTITLE causes the title
to remain unchanged. You might want to check that out.
