    You want SET_TITLE. Do a search for that string and you'll find a
    location no doubt.

    ... however, set_title needs the target window to have input focus.
    You'd better create the window with the right name _from the start_,
    using the \fabulous/ CHILD (according that you will be able to set
    plenty of other stuff, like the window size/position/title, the icon
    position, etc ...).

        yu may have difficulty finding it. Try note 470.1.

I have a problem with icons that I can't explain.

My workstation name is HAYAMA (Yamaha sort of...)  and the icon for the
session manager says "FENNELL on HAYAMA".

All of my DECTERMs are coming up with "Session 1 - MEARA" in the DECTERM
title bar and the icons are "1:MEARA".

MEARA is a node in our cluster that I had connected to yesterday for the
first time in a long time using VWSLAT.  Forgive me if I give out any
useless information, but I am at wits end...

First I stopped the session and started it up again.  Same result.

Next I rebooted.  Same result.

Next I rebooted with a hard power down.  Same result.

I can't figure out where this icon title is coming from.  Any help would be
appreciated.

Thanks.

I have found the problem...

Apparently something updated the icon name and title name fields in
decw$terminal_defaults.dat.  I changed the something in the DECTERM and
saved a new .DAT file yesterday afternoon.  I have deleted the file and the
prolem is gone.

I had checked for new .DAT files dated today as I was asked if I wanted to
save changes before I shut down the session manager.  The DECTERM .DAT file
was changed yesterday afternoon, so I didn't see it.

I am not sure how those fields got changed, but I suspect it has something
to do with VWSLAT.

						Tim

This happened to me too, and I also blamed VWSLAT.  But I had done it to
myself.  What you probably did was in a DECterm window do a Customize -
Save Current Settings from a window with that icon name.  It stores the
icon name along with the rest of the settings, and thus gets used for
all new terminal windows.

Removing the line(s) in the DECW$TERMINAL_DEFAULT.DAT file is the way
to go.

    Running VMS 5.1, SET_TITLE doesn't work from my LOGIN.COM, although 
    it works from DCL. I'm setting the title of my current DECterm window.

    I narrowed it down to: SET_TITLE only works after you "click on" the
    DECterm window. If I'm fast, and I click on the window before the 
    LOGIN.COM executes the SET_TITLE, it works okay.

    SET_TITLE seems so nice as part of the login procedure. 

    Any workarounds, like upgrading VMS?

    If you upgrade to VMS V5.3 you will be able to use <ESC> sequences to
    change the ICON and and BANNER of DECterm windows.  This will also work
    from LOGIN.COM.
    

Do you have the esc sequences for the icon and title changes?

Re: .11

To change the title to "foo":

	<ESC>O21;foo<ESC>\

where <ESC> is an escape (ASCII 27), and "O21" is a capital "O" followed by a
"two" and a "one".  To change the icon name to "bar":

	<ECS>O2L;bar<ESC>\.

				-- Bob

    Documented in the VMS 5.3 release notes...

  Ok, call me stupid if you want, but how do I get the <ESC> sequences
in .12 to be recognized so I can change the Icon name?

 I've put them in a file and typed the file out, that did nothing except
print the sequences on my DECterm. Am I missing something or do I have to
direct the <ESC> sequences someplace other than the DECterm output?

                                         Thanks,

  Well I found the answer to my own question in note 492 of the
DECTERM conference. I was indeed missing something...

   The sequence is <OSC>O21; which means you need <ESC>]O21;
for the action to take place...

       	Here's a com file that allows you to change the icon and title bar
       and etc.. Works for VWS and DECwindows.
       
       "@comfile icon1" will change the icon.

Re: .16

OSC is ESC ].  CSI is ESC [.  If you have an ASCII table, the easy way to
remember this is that both OSC and ] are in row 13, and both CSI and [
are in row 11.  The general rule is: subtract 64 (4 columns in the table)
from the 8 bit control character to get the second character in the 7 bit
equivalent.

    Your command file didn't work for me.  I extracted it and deleted the
    VWS code.  I tried the following at the DCL prompt:
    @filename banner 
    @filename banner "test title" 
    @filename icon 
    @filename icon "test title"
    
    Nothing happened.  DCL simply returned another prompt, no errors.  I
    switched from window to icon and back and nothing changed.
    
    I'm not a programmer and I'm new to DECwindows and feeling like I'm
    getting nothing but frustration from this interface.
    Can you explain why this doesn't work?

RE: .19

The command file doesn't work because the OSC sequences are not supported by
the DECTERM that comes with DECwindows V1.  You need DW V2 to do them.

    
    I'd like to put my 2 cents in for adding escapes for pushing
    the DECterm window and setting focus...

    
    This has been bugging me for a while. Why on one system when I run
    VWSLAT and connect to some node, does the icon name say:   
    	1:NODENAME   
    and on another system  (running the same things) say:
        SESSION 1 - NODENAME  ? 
    
    Both systems have:  VMS V5.3  
    		        VWSLAT.EXE    same date and block size
    			CHILD.EXE     same date and block size
    			SYS$LOGIN:DECW$TERMINAL_DEFAULT.DAT  same
    
    Where does the word SESSION come from?
