Like if it's running "top" then "top" shows in the title bar.  If I stop top (but not the term) and start "mc", then "top" is replaced by "mc" in the title bar.

    * ESC]0;stringBEL -- Set icon name and window title to string
    * ESC]1;stringBEL -- Set icon name to string
    * ESC]2;stringBEL -- Set window title to string
