On various linux boxes that I use, either the xterm or gnome-terminal

for tcsh. It prints out the escape codes for some reason. I have my
mac set it up to use /usr/share/tcsh/examples (10.2.3) and I have fink
installed.
Does anyone have a suggestion or has gotten this to work? I find it
hard to keep tract of my windows with out it.
Thanks,

This is what I use with bash:
In my .bashrc:
# Set the basic prompt
PS1='\h:\w\$ '
# Now lets get spiffy and put it in the title bar too
if echo $TERM | egrep -iq 'xterm|vt100'; then
PS1='\[\033]0;\h:\w\$\007\]'$PS1
fi
This gives me the machine:working directory$ in the title bar. If I'm
root, then the $ is replaced with #.
Hope this helps.
