I have a Perl script that changes the terminal window title and I would like to reset it to the original value when I am done. We are using Putty which emulates xterm. We are not running X-Windows so I can't use something like xprop (can I?). I'm using XTerm control codes to change the title and I have found a code that returns the window title ESC[21t; It seems to work except it doesn't go to STDOUT or STDERR. I can see the title, but I need to capture it
Putty has an option: "Response to remote title query (SECURITY)" I would like to know how to make such a query. I understand the security implications, but this is behind a firewall and Putty will not be used on sites in the wild.
