the which verison of solaris. i dont know if "common desktop
environment" is a valid term used elsewhere.

Common Desktop Environment, usually shortened to "CDE" has been quite
common for at least the last ten years or so.

What problem are you trying to solve?

You should be able to set window and icon titles by using
<OSC>2l;Title<STS><OSC>2LIcon Name<STS>

Where "<OSC>" is a control character having the hex value "9D" and <STS>
is a control character having the hex value "9C".

This worked on "DECWindows" which was Digital Equipment's implementation
of X-Windows. Give it a try and let us know if it works.

Yes but they want to remove it and replace it with Gnome. yuk

I dont see a problem here... : /
Unless you want to know what host your are on or something equally
lame?
For that you can alter PS which is a far better reminder

Actually a simpler echo command will do but why not just read the man
page on xterm or dtterm?
Its builtin. And you can manipulate the icon too up to about 7
characters.
Perhaps the OP could flesh things out a bit...
