[RHCE] tcsh xterm title bar

[Frank Pittenger]

Samir,

I don't know how to do this in the seamless style of the set prompt
command.  The only way I know to get this information is with the dirs
command.  I tried inserting `dirs` into the line instead of %~ but the
results were not impressive.  Info is inserted to the title once, but on
subsequent directory changes, the directory stack goes to standard out
instead.  I tried creating a DIRS environment variable and setting it to
the output of the dirs command and then using the %$DIRS in the prompt
command.  This works as a multi-step process, but I couldn't get it to
work reliably on a single line.
