I didn't know that. So how does it work, that I'm able to set cmd.exe window title with ANSI escape sequences bellow? \[\033]0;\w\007\] It sets cmd.exe window title to the current working directory in bash. Also colors in bash are set by ANSI escape sequences. Sorry for maybe stupid questions, but I'm web applications developer not system developer. I don't know how that things work. > I don't see the behavior that you are specifying but I doubt that what > you are seeing has anything to do with the gobbledegook on the above > page.

I'm ready to help as much as I can, but I just need your help.
