| Hello, list,
| 
| I've noticed the following unexpected behavior when using escape sequences =
| to
| write the current job to the terminal title.
| 
| I've got the following aliases set up:
| 
|     alias ls 'ls --color=3Dauto -F'=20
|     alias jobcmd 'echo -n "\033]2;\!#:q\007"'
| 
| The second alias is copied almost verbatim from the tcsh man page. The only
| change has been to no escaped the semicolon after the number 2, as includin=
| g it
| results in printing "; man man" right before the prompt is printed. Removin=
| g it
| prints the job to the xterm title, as desired. But I digress.
| 
| When I use `ls`, as aliased above, the string "0m" is printed before the fi=
| rst
| file in the directory. I've found that replacing the system's ls by the bui=
| ltin
| ls-F solves the issue, but I'm curious as to what might be happening.
| 
| Note that I'm using GNU's ls, as is standard in linux operating systems.
| 
| Thanks in advance for any insight.

I have not been able to reproduce this with xterm. What terminal are you
using? What does telltc print?

thanks,
