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.

pm(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual pm(4)
Name
pm - monochrome/color bitmap graphics
Syntax
device pm0 at ibus? vector pmvint
Description
The video subsystem provides a half page or full page, user-accessible bitmap display for graphics. The subsystem consists of a 256 Kbytes
(monochrome) or a 1 Mbyte (color) block of dual port RAM, a mouse or tablet, a keyboard, and a video monitor.
The subsystem device driver supports a hybrid terminal with three minor devices. The first minor device emulates a glass tty with a screen
that appears as an 80-column by 56-row page that scrolls from the bottom. This device is capable of being configured as the system con-
sole.
The second minor device is reserved for the mouse. This device is a source of mouse state changes. (A state change is defined as an X/Y
axis mouse movement or button change.) When opened, the driver couples movements of the mouse with the cursor. Mouse position changes are
filtered and translated into cursor position changes in an exponential manner. Rapid movements result in large cursor position changes.
All cursor positions are range checked to ensure that the cursor remains on the display.
The third minor device provides an access path for console output that does not disturb the graphics display. The caller can open the
device When this device is open, the graphics driver redirects console device output to the input buffer of this device. This mechanism
disables console output on the screen and saves the output for later display. This preserves the graphic display integrity.
Input and output on the first and third minor devices are processed by the standard line disciplines.
The Hold Screen key is supported. The graphics driver treats this key as if CTRL/S or CTRL/Q had been pressed. Pressing the Hold Screen key
suspends the output (if it is not already suspended). To resume the output, press the Hold Screen key again.
