Title Escapes and term-mode

Title Escapes and term-mode

[Peter Jones]

When using one of the terminal emulators in Emacs, if a shell/command
outputs the xterm escape sequence to set the window title, it shows up
in Emacs as garbage.

Is there a way to either ignore those escape sequences, or preferably do
something useful with them (e.g. put them in the mode line)?

Could you imagine not to emit these ANSI Esc sequences when *not* in  
xterm?

  66+ 73+ 76+ 76+ 71+ 65+ 84+ 69+ 83 = 663

  and add 3 because he's Bill Gates the third.

Yes, of course that's an option.  I've already put the necessary logic
in my shell configuration, but it's not so easy to conditionally
configure GNU screen.

That's why I'm looking for a solution on the Emacs side of the equation.

I can hack elisp if someone would kindly point me in the right
direction.

You can override the particle that creates the ANSI Esc sequences in  
~/.emacs_<shell name>.
