[clug] Programmable title

[Bryan Kilgallin]

Thanks guys. The following seems to do what I wanted. Though I don't 
know how to force the terminal to be of type "tty" as opposed to "pts", 
in order to test that condition.

function fish_title
     echo $_ 'shell'
     set teletype (tty | cut -c 6-8)
     if test $teletype = 'pts'
         echo ' pseudo'
     end
     echo ' terminal on line '
     echo (tty) | cut -c 10-
end

Eyal:

I am using the "fish" shell. Its syntax is simpler than that of the 
"bash" shell.
