I don't know.   My dtterm(5) man page reads :

SunOS 5.7           Last change: 25 Apr 1994                   15

Headers, Environments, and Macros                       dtterm(5)

[...]

         Esc ] p1 ;  p2 <control>-G
                Set text parameters.  This escape sequence allows
                various  terminal emulator text values to be set.
                Valid supported values of p1 are:

                   0     Change the icon name and window title to
                         the string p2.

                   1     Change the icon name to the string p2.

                   2     Change the window title  to  the  string
                         p2.

                   3     Set the current working directory to the
                         string  p2.  The terminal emulator tries
                         to restart in this directory when it  is
                         restarted in a new session.

[...]

        Esc ] l text Esc Backslash
                Set the window title to text.

[...]

The second is the same as the `sun-cmd' case in zsh.

 AB> BTW is it possible to get the current window title?

I could print it with : 

$ echo ''

But does someone know how to catch this in a shell script ?  Is there
a better way than using script(1) ?


This is an excerpt of what dtterm(5) says about '' :

        Esc [ p1 ; p2 ; p3 t
                Window manipulation.  Valid values  for  p1  (and
                any additional parameters) are:

[...]

                   21    Report  the  dtterm(1)  window's  title.
                         The  terminal emulator returns ``Esc ] l
                         title Esc Backslash''.


This seems to be true for xterm too (which I find strange since xterm
does not accept the resulting ']ltitle\' sequence).
