Tools How do I Get the Title of My Putty Window (Emulating an XTerm)

I have a Perl script that changes the terminal window title and I would like to reset it to the original value when I am done. We are using Putty which emulates xterm. We are not running X-Windows so I can't use something like xprop (can I?). I'm using XTerm control codes to change the title and I have found a code that returns the window title ESC[21t; It seems to work except it doesn't go to STDOUT or STDERR. I can see the title, but I need to capture it

Putty has an option: "Response to remote title query (SECURITY)" I would like to know how to make such a query. I understand the security implications, but this is behind a firewall and Putty will not be used on sites in the wild.

glutCreateWindow -- Create a new top-level window LIBRARY
OpenGLUT - window SYNOPSIS
#include <openglut.h> int glutCreateWindow(const char* title); PARAMETERS
title Title for created window DESCRIPTION
This function sends a request for a window to be constructed. OpenGLUT immediately constructs a data structure to track further events with the window, on the theory that eventually the window manager will get back to us with a real window. This allows us to begin registering callbacks immediately. In fact, you must register a display callback via glutDisplayFunc() before you enter glutMainLoop(). For onscreen windows, you should not depend upon the window concretely existing or being visibile until you are told that it exists and is visible via a registered callback. The return value is an int. It should be positive for valid windows or 0 if failure occurred for some reason (Though traditional GLUT tends to bail out and abort rather than returning errors.) The integer is your window id . Old GLUT promises that these integers are ``small''; we do not reuse old id s, but do produce them sequentially. You can change the title later via glutSetWindowTitle(). SEE ALSO
