    This page had all the instructins I needed, thanks!

    If someone is interested, this is what I added to my .cshrc file:
    #
    # sets x-term titlebar
    #
    set HOSTNAME=`hostname -s`
    switch ($TERM)
        case "xterm*":
            alias precmd 'echo -n "\033]0;$cwd\007"; echo
    "\033]30;${HOSTNAME}\007\c"'
            breaksw
    endsw

    (The second 'echo' sets the shell name, which appear in the little tab.)

    Thanks a lot guys!
