	I've got a slight problem with having the host/directory/etc on the
	title bar. It will help clear my zsh right-prompt, of course.
	But how do you set the title bar *back* to the name of the xterm?
	(My xterms are titled "Mail", "Net", "Hacking", "Scratch", and so
	forth.)  Is there a way of using xtset/xtermset to retrieve the
	-n "Name"??

	thanks,

	gary
