renaming a window tab from a nested screen

I run screen locally and on the servers I ssh into. Locally I can use echo -ne "\x1bkFOOBAR\x1b\\"; But this does not work from the nested screen on the remote machine. It does, however, work if I detach from the remote screen and try it. Ideas? -- .!# RichardBronosky #!. __

Updating a screen title with colors

Hi, I'd like to be able to highlight a screen name from inside a script. I can usually update a title using echo -n -e "\033k$TITLE\033\\" So, I tried echo -n -e "\033k%{r}$TITLE%{-}\033\\" But it looks like screen does not evaluate the colors in this situation :( Is there a way to do this? T
