Since I found it useful to see on what machine a (9 x)^term is logged in to (in unix, not all machines are equal), my labels currently show a user@host next to the directory One disadvantage: the menu gets very wide (this is less noticable when mozilla is running - also it generates sometimes very wide labels). (also, the scheme of "/dir/path user@home" didn't seem to integrate perfectly with win in acme - but I seldomly use win). I hacked 9term to be able to take the directory part of the labels I use (such that plumbing works). Because I was unsure about general interest, I think I did not provide a patch. If there is interest, let me know. (I also hacked 9term to display a ? cursor when plumbing fails; I think I sent the patch for that to Russ) Axel.
