Change Console Title

Hello.

I am trying to figure out how to change the title of my console window. I don't need it to dynamically change with my current directory. I just want to be able to change the name of it, so when I minimize the window I can see which windows are for what purpose.

I've tried using the following, but it returns back saying that TITLE is an undefined variable.

echo "^[]l${TITLE}^[\\"

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
