  Hmmm.  To turn the question on it's head: Does anyone know if it's
possible to set the title of a screen from the encapsulated program?
I've already got my PROMPT_COMMAND pimped to set my xterm window title
(to include things like the hostname, username, and/or directory, as
appropriate).  It would be neat to have it do the same to the screen
title.
