Because it would be no use at the time the prompt is printed: after the last command. You can use the trap builtin with the faux 'DEBUG' signal though to execute a command just before a command is executed, and $BASH_COMMAND will tell you what that command is. Here's one way to put this to use: trap 'printf "\e]0;%s\a" "$BASH_COMMAND"' DEBUG Andy -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
