can anyone tell me how to change the title of terminal window to show the path of the current directory? I have RHEL installed..

I take it your talking about the 'xterm' windows, if so then setting the PROMPT_COMMAND environment variable should do it.
E.g.

Code:

PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${PWD/$HOME/~}\007"'

.

Haven't tried it on RHEL, though I think it shouldn't matter.
