PLEASE make sure the thread title does reflect the problem in your future posts.
Exactly, I realized this just as I posted the query.

But, noway to correct that.

I was thinking cat hello.txt | maix -s "Alert" ........ would help... but it does not and that's where that cat shows in the title.

Please correct it if you feel like.

DtWsmSetWorkspaceTitle(API)											       DtWsmSetWorkspaceTitle(API)

NAME
DtWsmSetWorkspaceTitle -- set workspace title SYNOPSIS
#include <Dt/Wsm.h> int DtWsmSetWorkspaceTitle( Widget widget, Atom workspace, char *title); DESCRIPTION
The DtWsmSetWorkspaceTitle() function works with the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), and changes a specific workspace's title. Applications can use this function to implement an interface to the workspace manager. If the DtWsmSetWorkspaceTitle() function is not successful, the most likely reason for failure is that the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), is not running. The DtWsmSetWorkspaceTitle() function requires a widget. A gadget (or unrealized widget) is not acceptable for the widget argument. DtWsmSetWorkspaceTitle() sends a message to the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), to set the title. If the workspace name is not valid, no action is taken and the workspace manager reports no error. ARGUMENTS
widget A realized widget on the screen of interest workspace The name of the workspace (in X atom form) where the title should be set title The new title RETURN VALUE
The function returns Success (0) when it succeeds, and non-zero upon failure. Note that these are not the same values that _DtWsmSet- WorkspaceTitle returns. SEE ALSO
DtWsm(5) "Communicating with the Workspace Manager" section in the CDE Programmer's Guide "Workspace Manager" section in the CDE Programmer's Overview DtWsmSetWorkspaceTitle(API)
