I like this way best as it can be used with whatever terminal I'm using
if its in my .bashrc, however, with bash the command is 

echo -ne ...

Actually, I didn't, thanks for the tip.

While this is good, is there a way to make the terminal title dynamic? 
Because if I set them all to the same thing when the terminal opens,
then I still have the same problem of not being able to distinguish one
terminal from another.  Thanks again.
