RE: How to add a title to xterm


Someone posted a clue on how to make MS Windows Cmd window disappear.
I lost that (rather I deleted lots of emails when my quota exceeded).

If we chose to start cygwin thro a bash cmd window ...

I do not use startx: for me, it sets up unnecessary or inconvenient
defaults.

	1. Start bash

then

	2. run XWin -nolisten local -multiwindow & <Enter>
	3. xterm -display localhost:0.0 -title Columbia <Enter>

works fine for me ...
